55Our 2nd visit & it was just as awesome as our 1st. Big, flat area to park - Easy to get in & out. It was mowed & clean. There is a sweet little shaded sitting area with the loveliest view, big box ‘o dog toys & water for the pups. Our time was very enjoyable & we got some great new pictures of our pups amidst the little yellow dandelions. Kat F.

55We had a wonderful time today! We brought our three dogs and they loved it! There was a beautiful fence, a nice patio area with chairs to rest after running around, fresh running water to refill the water bowls, and a box full of balls and toys. We highly recommend this sniff spot! The owners are friendly and came to introduce themselves. Tucker, Addie and Waylan give 4 paws each!!Lisa H.

55Easy access from Santa Rosa which we really appreciated. Super friendly hosts, with clear and concise entry instructions. Our dog thoroughly enjoyed the plethora and variety of balls for chewing and chasing. Always a good sign when he conks out before our time is up :)Arika A.

55This spot was awesome! Super easy to find and park. The space was just as described and my pups loved it! There were many balls and a ball thrower that one of my dogs greatly appreciated. The space was super wide opened, great for my other dog that can run all day long and we even got to say hi to one of the horses near by. This is a great spot and will definitely be back!Luana A.

55Yet another great visit at this property. Clean and well trimmed grass so my dog was able to run freely and I was able to see where she dropped the some balls as we played. Vicky G.

55My two Anatolian Shepherds love to visit this huge expanse of flat pasture land. After analyzing the smells left by other visitors, chasing each other from one end to the other, and communing with "Joe" (the senior horse in an adjacent pasture) they are worn out for the rest of the day. Bret M.

55If I could give this 10 stars, I would! Lots of trees and an absolutely HUGE lawn with thick-cool-green-grass: Not so easy to find these days. With a fully fenced & secure 3.5 acres this is pure pup paradise!!! Heidi, our host, was friendly, helpful and very responsive. She met us at the gate, gave us a quick tour of toys, treats, poop bags, water stations & sitting areas. Then me & my three were off!
I’ve been on the fence about buying a Sniff-spot membership but I’m quite sure, that unless I do, I will never get a time slot here once word gets out. This will definitely be our ‘go to’ snifferoo!!!!

55Beautiful brand new spot! We had a wonderful time this evening and were so glad to see this sniffspot open.
There is a ton of space to sniff and run. We especially liked the irrigated lawn - our dogs haven't been on real green grass in a few months and were absolutely thrilled to roll in it. There are a few water stations set up and some snacks. There is some seating available around the yard.
Heidi, the host, is very friendly and welcoming. She gave us a little tour when we arrived. There are canine hosts on the property but we neither heard nor saw them. Our dogs left them lots of happy pee-mails to catch up on, though.
Fence is very tall and looks secure. No barbed wire or loose parts that I was able to see.
At one part of the property you can see some livestock (goats) and we were greeted by them parking on the road. Not a problem and easy to stay out of line of sight. Heather W.

FAQ about our Lower 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 Lower 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 34 fully fenced dog parks in the area. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our 3 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.
Are there dog agility courses for rent in Lower Lake?
Sniffspot has dog parks with agility equipment and/or dog obstacles in or near Lower Lake. The most popular agility option is Just Barking around in Sebastopol.
