55This is such a fun sniffspot! The field is HUGE and my girl loved having the river access on this hot day. We’d walk around the field and then go cool off in the water 😎 Sad it’s so far from us but it’s worth the drive and we will definitely be back!! Olivia B.

55Super fun spot! Tons of room to roam. Our dogs enjoyed smelling all the smells and playing fetch! The river access is easy to find & we will definitely be back in warmer weather for some wading! The amenities - picnic table under a shade, outhouse, pooper scooper, are all very nice! Alison M.

55This place is the best! There’s so much space to run around and explore. My dog loves dunking in the river. We’ve never seen a dog or human so it feels like we have the place to ourselves. And! I love that I have a spot to go potty, too. This has become our adventure spot when we have a long weekend.Ari B.

55This might be the happiest I’ve ever seen my dog! This spot was absolutely beautiful. We loved running around the field then heading down to the river. Although he is normally quite reactive, he didn’t seem bothered by the passing kayakers/boaters. Really appreciate the bathroom, hammock, and shade tent, we had such a great time. Tonya R.

55Great spot! Lots of amenities for pups and humans. Super private and felt very safe. I have a young rambunctious dog and an elderly mellow dog, both had a blast. Nice and flat so the older pup could wander and sniff while my crazy guy ran laps. Thanks Karen!Catheryn A.

55Great spot on the river. There were some rafters there when we first walked down, but they didn’t stay for long. Lots of sticks to throw for the dogs. Current wasn’t bad, which meant the water was pretty stagnant and baths were def needed when we got home cus they were stiiiinky.
The spot has bushes and trees down to the waterline on either side, so the dogs couldn’t wander too far without a lot of effort.
We’ll be back for sure. Cat L.

55This our new favorite Sniff Spot! The combination of flat grassy meadow and riverfront space allows for our dogs to run, swim, and play to their hearts content. We will definitely be back! P.S. both dogs fell asleep in the car on the drive home, and that rarely happens!Clark H.

55This is a great location with access to the Clackamas River. There is a lot of room to run & play. There are shady spots to hang out literally, there’s a hammock. Jennie D.

55My dogs and I enjoyed having our own private spot on the river. Across the way is where people get off their tubes, but around 5pm on a Sunday there weren’t very many groups. With my dogs going in and out of the water the ground did get muddy, so take what you need to prepare for that. There is also no shade. It’s a short walk between the car and river, so if you are there for a while I could see bringing something to create shade. The swimming was good as it’s not a fast moving area of the river. I’ll definitely go back. Alicia Y.

55This will be a monthly spot for me. I’m so happy to have found a spot with private access to water. It wasn’t fenced in but was private enough to not have to worry. We even found a ball out there! 10/10Faithfull P.
