55The best hidden gem! Whenever I post videos of this place on Instagram, I get so many messages asking where it is. What a dream to have it all to ourselves! We love being able to access the ice cold and clear moving water during the summer heat. My pups run up and down the stream playing and it’s been a great spot to get my puppy comfortable swimming. I also appreciate the space on land for them to run around so I can practice their recalls. A summer staple for us now!Christina J.

55Amazing spot! I messed up with access yy missing the first gate. Make sure you take the 1st gate you see, not the ones that the directions give you and then immediately take a left between the main road and the barn to get to the open field. Truly heaven for me and my dog!Paige A.

55Sniffspot sign small but we spotted it. Turn left as soon as you enter the driveway. There is a sign posted on the building. Take an sun if you have one...driveway and parking on dirt and grass..bumpy. drive slow. Property was AMAZING! Our dog loved it. So many sniffs. He played in the river. Bring some sticks with you, or a ball. Trash can for poopy bags provided. Chairs, benches, tables sporadically placed. We didn't see anyone or any other dogs while we were there. We will be back!Kristine M.

55What an incredible place this is! It was the perfect place to cool off on a hot day. The river is clean and cold, perfect for dogs to splash around in and swim at. The upper field has been mowed and it’s the perfect place for running or fetch. The lower field was alive with birds and wildflowers. It’s seriously such a dream spot. Make sure your dog has a solid recall, as the fence could potentially injure them if they got into it, but otherwise it’s picture perfect. Can’t wait to come back again!Lauren J.

55We visited three times now and every single time, we enjoyed ourselves so much. This is just a gorgeous piece of land, I am so stoked Marj (who also is the nicest person) is sharing it with us. The river is clear, shallow, and safe. The meadows are gorgeous and the hayfield just is straight out of a Van Gogh. Susanne J.

55The ULTIMATE Sniffspot. My husband and I brought our Rottie and Golden Retriever to Marj’s place and they had a blast. Our dogs have energy for days, so this place was a godsend; huge field to run and a creek to swim. Needless to say they crashed the second we got back in the truck. Victory! On top of this being an epic spot for anyone looking for an open but fenced area to roam/run, Marj couldn’t have been sweeter. She was a delight to speak with, very responsive, and beyond accommodating. Such a wonderful experience. We’ll be back for sure.Kate B.

55It was beautiful. Directions were clear. Communication was great. There were campers on the same property but we were not intrusive to each other since our boy was leashed (long line). Great trails and amenities. The partial fencing does include old wire fence so I’d say keep you buddies leashed or within call since there’s an awesome barrier of tall beautiful grasses. The little beach access to the creek was lovely for our lil’ big guy. We had so much fun with him, THAN YOU SO MUCH for sharing such a wonderful space!!!Gabe H.

FAQ about our Clear Lake dog parks
Are dog parks good for dogs?
It is important for dogs to have off leash exercise to sniff and run. But the free and open nature of public dog parks has drawbacks. There could be aggressive dogs, disease transmission and cleanliness issues. For this reason, many dog behaviorists discourage visiting public dog parks and recommend Sniffspot's private dog parks. Sniffspot private dog parks only allow one guest to book at a time and are not open to the public, which solves many of these issues.
Are dog parks safe?
While public dog parks have a number of safety issues, such as aggressive dogs, disease transmission and general cleanliness, Sniffspot dog parks much safer than public dog parks. With Sniffspot all bookings are private for just you and dogs you bring with you and we require all dogs to be vaccinated (or have equivalent titers). All Sniffspot locations are vetted and reviewed by guests so you can find the perfect place for you and your dog. 97% of reviews on Sniffspot visits in the Clear Lake area are 5 stars.
How do I know if a dog park works for my dog?
You can filter Sniffspot dog parks by fencing and distractions. If your dog doesn't have good recall, you can visit one of our 77 fully fenced dog parks in the area. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our 8 off leash areas where there are no dogs audible or visible nearby. You can also filter locations to avoid other domestic animals and people. We also recommend reading reviews and reaching out to the host with any questions.
