55What a great place! A large open field and Clackamas River access. There is a large gravel parking lot with a porta potty in the corner. A water shed with a hose and a pooper scooper and a picnic table. We were greeted by a host who had filled a bowl and bucket with water. Yadi ran for the entire hour and had so much fun. We will come back with some friends.John G.

55This place was great! Big open space, water access, easy parking, private and easy to get to. The host even put a bucket and hose out for water and had a poop scooper and trash can available. Our doggo absolutely loved it. Nicole Y.

55Great space! Clean, private, peaceful. The river is pretty high right now so we didn't explore the water much (we let him have a leashed sniff on the shore) but we'll definitely come back in warmer weather. The open field area is the perfect size for a hardy game of toss with a Chuck It! Not an issue for my pup, but we could hear dogs barking (across the river?) and some guys in a boat also went by - just an FYI for the most sensitive of doggos. Sarah W.

55We absolutely loved this place! We have a 3 1/2 yr old half German shepherd/half Labradoodle and a 1 yr old Mastiff (who is reactive to other dogs), they were like two kids in a candy store running and sniffing around. They loved it here and were so excited to run around freely! There was a dog that barked in the distance but didn’t phase our dogs. Lots of room to throw a ball, and the pups were tired out in 45 minutes. Great communication with the owner. Fresh water for the dogs, picnic table, port a potty, and garbage can available for use. Access to the river but did not utilize it this visit. Great communication with the owner. Peaceful and quiet environment. We will definitely be back! 🐶🐾❤️🐶🐾Marleea H.

55Probably our new favorite spot. Very quiet, peaceful, my dog loved the water to swim in, only “negative” was there’s some pokies in the grass that she had trouble walking over but wasn’t a huge deal. We just tried to walk where there wasn’t any :) we will be back! Ellaree c.

55Absolutely amazing beautiful spot! My dog had the best time swimming and running in the field. Our 150lb mastiff doesn’t like other dogs so this was perfect for us because it’s very hard finding a spot for him to swim without other people or dogs around. We will for sure be back! So happy we found this spot.Alivia A.

55This spot brings my dog so much joy! Whether it's a solo 1:1 with me, or a play date bringing along her best dogger friend, she has such a great time here. We recently moved and the trip is now about 36 minutes each way, but it's worth every mile! Thanks for such a great spot 💛🌟Suzi M.

55This is a 45 minute drive from home but I will absolutely be back. Large field for zoomies, a little path with lots of good smells between the trees in the back, and a great spot by the river. My dog gets bored easily but we used the entire hour here without a single need for a toy. My favorite spot so far!Amy F.

FAQ about our Hood River 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.

We also recommend reading reviews and reaching out to the host with any questions, and of course, checking water park hours.
