55Responsive host, beautiful property with lots of space. We loved the mowed trails with lots of natural, unmowed areas and the little pond. Your dogs will get dirty so be ready for a bath afterwards. Shelly S.

55Really lovely spot and all the instructions were perfect - thank you. Enjoyed all the little mowed trails to take a different way around each time.
As it notes in the info on the location's page, the neighbors to the west had a dog out in their yard that could get right up to the fence. Our dog is pretty reactive so we just avoided that area, and it was fine. The fence is fully secure, but something to watch for if, like us, you'd rather avoid any confrontations - fence or no.

55Oh we had the best time! Being here felt like a mini vacation. The pond was perfect for the dogs to swim around and not too deep for them to have to wear vests. They also had fun running around the trails to dry off. Never trying a new sniff spot again. We’re making this one our home hahaElisse P.

55This isn't a dog spot. This is a flower filled fairy spot that my dogs had the pleasure of visiting. It has a pond that my usually water avaoidant mutt LOVED. My other dog had a great time trying to escape but was foiled by the secure fencing. Rebecca A.

55My dogs did not want to leave! I had to drag them to the car.
Also, the fencing is very secure. I have a Beagle that is an escape artist, but we did not have any issues here. Nicole H.

55Our pups and son had a blast! One of my dogs loved the pond, the other loved running around the wildflower patches “seeking us”, and my son thoroughly enjoyed the little trail through the woods. I definitely recommend this beautiful Sniffspot and will be returning in the future! Destiny B.

55This spot was so clean and spacious. My two collies couldn't stop smiling. They lounged in the shade on soft grass just amazed that they could be off leash. Then they got brave and started exploring the trails. The owners have the back part set up like a maze through tall wildflowers which centers around a small pond. My 11 month puppy ran through the pond, stood in the pond, and then did zoomies around it. My 6 year old girl just couldn't stop smiling at all the sniffs and freedom to roam. What an awesome place of heaven for doggies. So restful for us humans to take a walk in the country. Perfect afternoon outing.Toni K.

55We had a super time exploring the well maintained grass trails, Jada got the zoomies, sprinting in and out of the pond, so happy! There was seating in that area so I could sit and watch the “show”. Perimeter fence is very secure. Nan S.

55This is our favorite spot so far! Absolutely beautiful property and lots of fun groomed trails. My pup loved the mini pond, but he/she will get dirty in there…which I didn’t mind at all. Pure fun all the way around. Highly recommend! Jessica S.

FAQ about our Powell dog water parks
Are dog water parks safe?
While public dog parks have a number of safety issues, such as aggressive dogs, disease transmission and general cleanliness, Sniffspot dog parks are 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. 93% of reviews on Sniffspot visits are 5 stars. If you are worried about whether you can have an enjoyable water experience, just know that it is possible to have peace of mind when visiting dog waterparks by following basic safety guidelines. Some great ways to stay safe around water with your dog include learning canine CPR and keep an eye on your dog at all times to ensure they are not distressed. You can learn more about safety around water here.
How can I find the best dog water parks in Powell?
How do I know if a dog water park works for my dog?
Start by applying basic filters, such as fencing and distractions, to find a dog park that works for your dog. If your dog doesn't have good recall, you can visit one of our fully fenced dog water parks. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our dog water parks where there are no dogs audible or visible nearby. Make sure to review the amenities of the spot to see what kind of water features are offered to make sure it works for your dog. If your dog is not a strong swimmer, then perhaps choose a dog water park with tamer water features rather than a river or beach, for instance. We also recommend reading reviews and reaching out to the host with any questions, and of course, checking water park hours.
What are the requirements to bring my dog to a Sniffspot water park?
We require that all dogs have basic vaccinations or equivalent titers. We do not allow dogs with a bite history. We require that guests sign our waiver and agree to follow our safety rules. Additionally, we recommend following our water safety guidelines.
Will there be other dogs at the Sniffspot water park at the same time as me?
Sniffspot only allows one booking at a time and any host dogs are required to be kept away from the spot during visits. We also enforce 30 min time buffers between bookings.
If you are planning an amazing dog water park party, each Sniffspot water park has their own rules regarding special events. Many water parks allow doggie birthday parties, training and other event types. Event organizers need to be responsible for their guests and event organizers should coordinate with the host regarding their fun party.
What are the coolest doggie water features available?
Sniffspot dog water parks can have a variety of features, everything from swimming pools to rivers to beaches to hoses and kiddie pools. If you are dreaming of a curtain of water, water tunnels, a ball pit pool, water slide ball pits, splash pools or other cool features, you can definitely find amazing features at Sniffspot dog water parks. Each water park is different, so check the details of the park to find the incredible dog water park of your dreams.
