55Wonderful! I have an out of shape, old man who is anti social with other dogs. This was a great opportunity to get him out to enjoy some off leash time. The environment was clean and exactly what we needed! We will be back! Michelle L.

55This is about 35 min drive from Portland and an amazing alternative to a dog park if your dog does not do well with other dogs. I have a reactive dog on leash and it is difficult to find appropriate spots, but this is a huge piece of land for my lab mix to run around with! She had a blast and we loved seeing her so happy. Dianne and her husband were wonderful hosts and had dog bags on handy if you needed them and water available- and even a bathroom for the humans! We will definitely be back and invite our friends who have dogs for a private play date! Virginia T.

55This was our first time using SniffSpot. The owner came out to greet us and checked in before we left. The lot was clean, and surrounded by beautiful farmland, cows, horses, etc. There were some barking dogs on nearby property but we could not see them from the lot. My dog is reactive to other dogs and luckily the barking wasn’t a bother at all. We wanted to try this app because we can’t have our sweet girl around other dogs but needed to find a way to let her enjoy/learn off-leash play. It was amazing to see her run around without me worrying. Yay. Amelia L.

55Amazing sniff spot (and property)! Our dogs had a great time running around the fully fenced in area. They are reactive to other dogs so we don’t have many chances to get them off leash - this spot was perfect for them. The art all around the property is fantastic and surrounding area is gorgeous. Host was very understanding when I pulled into the wrong driveway on a Sunday morning (sorry!) and helped me get to the right spot.
It was a wonderful day out for the whole family. Looking forward to many more visits here in the future! Sarah H.

55I was given great directions to the location and where to park. The host greeted me upon arrival and gave me instructions on the space. Lovely art surrounds the play area so it was visually appealing to me. The ground is nice and level so I wasn't worried about anyone tripping as they ran through the space. I will definitely put this on the list for future visits.Deana A.

55Great spot! Clean, safe (secure fencing for our size dogs), pleasant surroundings and lots of fun murals to see. We will definitely be going back. Friendly brief greeting with instructions from the host when we arrived.
We went on a really wet and rainy day and the field was in good shape with only a little mud right at the gate entrance, so our dogs did not get super muddy which was nice.Terri S.

55This was a great first experience with Sniffspot. I would be surprised if another spot could outdo this one. Easy, clean, no holes in the yard, water avalible and anything else you'd need to make this worth the trip. And the most friendly cows. Thank you for being great hosts, we will be back!Marya W.

55Wow! What a wonderful hour of dog fun and tranquility. Diane's half acre is serene, so safely fenced, super clean, with all the bells and whistles of fresh water, poop bags, and a refuse container for poop bags. This was our second visit to Diane's...and can't wait to book again. Her gorgeous stained glass and art pieces throughout their property add to the specialness and care of this Sniffspot...Diane has made her property welcoming, inviting, and as a really friendly host we felt among friends.Jana F.

55A perfect, secure, spacious green space to exercise your pups! There are minimal distractions if you are searching for a place to work on training. The area is decorated with beautiful art, plenty of seating for to relax on, and a human bathroom if needed. I’m working on my dogs reactivity towards other dogs and this space provided what I’ve been searching for in terms of room to exercise, no unexpected interactions with other dogs, and beautiful tranquility! I absolutely loved it. And to top it all, the hosts Dianne and Dan were accommodating and friendly. We hope to be back very soon!Jennifer N.

55We had a wonderful time at this spot! Directions were clear, there was fresh water and a place to dispose of poop. We truly loved all the rad art everywhere, which was fun to look at and appreciate while our pooch romped and played. Area was good sized and well maintained- we would love to return again! Jessie K.

55This is a private well fenced and well cared for Sniff Spot. The hosts keep it clean, free of holes and have fresh water out for the dogs. I have been there at least 4 times. It is a great size for doing some training, playing fetch and letting your dogs romp. The hosts are great. I highly recommend it. Elyse C.

55Dianne met us when we pulled in and gave us a run down of what to expect. The enclosed area was great for our dog to run, sniff and play. There was a disc golf basket there too for anyone that wants to get in some throws while your dog roams.john M.

FAQ about our Madras 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 Madras?
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.
