55Heather has thought of everything and it was a perfect place to hang out on a beautiful fall day.
55My Sparrow enjoys the water so much. Great place to take a break.
55Moose LOOOVED it! 😍 He had so much fun jumping and splashing around. The time went lightning fast for both of us! The space was very well thought out with everything you may need. He is 7 months old, so this was his first water experience. We will definitely be back!
55You know those days that are so good, the great mood carries into the next few days? That was our visit to this spot. After a memorable day alone with our dog on an empty beach at upper Big Falls when she was a pup, I’ve been searching for a safe and clean water access point for a couple of years. This spot is it. The surrounding forest, stream width, depth, water current, and sandy bottom are just ideal. What I didn’t expect is how accessible the water is. It’s the perfect low-threshold place to introduce your dog to the water. What an experience—thank you for sharing your space!
55Moose had an awesome visit again!
55Amazing location and great amenities! We had so much fun!
55What a fun spot to bring our pup! The instructions were clear and we had no trouble finding it. It was a treat to walk the trail and visit the beach!
55Excellent place to get our dog used to water. We appreciated the long lines and toys to use.
55We had an amazing time! As you make it to the beach it's like you're waking into a beautiful dog oasis. Both dogs had a great time and the place was great and clean!
55Great place for dogs to play and relax in water. Will definitely go back.

HOST REPORTS

“People may be walking on the road (very rare!) or possibly swimming at the bridge on hot days. While this is rare, they can be heard if they are present. The bridge is a public space, so we are unable to control that space. We also do not own the river, so kayakers could also be a possibility. I have only experienced a group of kayakers pass our beach one time in our 7 years of living here”

Mondovi, Wisconsin

Description

Welcome to our private dog beach on the Buffalo River - the ultimate summer SniffSpot! The river is slow moving, clear, shallow and all sand. It is about 1-2 feet deep near our beach, and deeper on the opposite side of the river. In heavy rain, it ebbs and flows in depths. It is a very safe place to wade, play fetch, dig in the sand, teach dogs about water or just hang out on a warm day. You will park and walk to the beach on mowed trails through our woods about 600 feet to the beach. It is completely secluded on a beautiful bend in the river where you will be surrounded by woods. Watch for eagles, hawks, Sandhills cranes, ducks and many songbirds overhead. The SniffSpot availability is limited to the beach only, and not the rest of our property.

Cleanliness

100% of guests said this spot was as clean as expected during their visit.

Hazards

HOST NOTE

When there is ample rainfall, the river will be higher than usual, making the current a bit stronger. It will still remain fairly shallow, but always be cautious when in the river with your dog. We do have a lot of wildlife living in our property. While they are very elusive and hide from humans, but we do have birds, opossums, raccoons, coyotes, deer, beaver, turtles, frogs, muskrat, weasels, fishers, badgers, squirrels, groundhogs, otters, muskrats, insects, bobcats and other wildlife that we share our land with. This spot has a water feature, make sure to review these guidelines for visiting spots with water before visiting: https://help.sniffspot.com/article/167-how-to-keep-your-dog-safe-around-pools-and-water" There is no lifeguard on duty at the river.

Greetings! I am a certified behavior consultant who owns a dog training school in Eau Claire, WI. I have been training dogs professionally and involved in dog sports since 1998. My husband and I own a farm on the Buffalo River in the Driftless Area of Wisconsin. While dogs are my passion, my other passion as a steward to our 40 acres of restored native prairie, woods and wildlife. In the summer, we grow vegetables and have them out in a farm stand along our road. I am outside in any and all weather with my dogs poking around our property, hiking, collecting seed and observing the natural world. I LOVE seeing pictures of your dogs in the water, it makes my heart happy.

ECsniffspot - The Property

Fully Fenced
0.15 acres

A fully-fenced, private urban-wild space for you and your dog. A non-residential & non-adjacent site centrally located in Eau Claire WI. This property is separate from our residence, providing a truly private and secure release for high-energy, reactive, or compromised dogs. Because no other pets live on-site, it offers a quiet and clean environment with a mix of grass, dirt, mulch, and plenty of natural shade from mature oak trees. Please note: While daylight hours shorten with the season, we’ve set our spot to stay open until 8:30 PM at guest request. Please be aware that while there is some solar lighting, the space is not electrically lit, so bringing an additional personal light may be helpful when booking this time. Also, for property safety, a motion-activated security camera monitors the amenities locker area.

There are 15 acres of native prairie grasses and plants. There are a few trees and rolling hills. There is approximately 1.5 miles of mowed trails that loop and connect, creating several options for new routes for each visit. There is also an outhouse available if needed. However, it is within our normally private area, so dogs must be on leashes and there are hooks for leashes while in use.

Beautiful Backyard Dogtopia between North High and the airport

Fully Fenced
0.02 acres

Hello to all you fur baby fans out there! As a dog dad, I know the amount of energy we need to get out of them for them to remain healthy and happy. My 15yo lab was let off the leash permanently in February and I'm not ready to commit full time again...yet. Having had dogs all my life and having a 9yo son that that says he'll do all the work, I'm sure it will happen soonish but for now this option works great for both of us! My Spot is a spacious fully fenced backyard with great shade at any time of the day. The entrance is on the west side of the house. There is occasionally a dog in the yard to the west but there is an 8 ft fence on that side. The chainlink section in the back will have people in their yard rarely but no pets. I will take care of any cleanup and disposal for you for an additional $2/dog. Come, play, leave. Easy peasy! Feel free to eat some raspberries while you're here, if they are in season. Please don't pick them to take with. Looking forward to meeting some doggos and people. Reach out before booking for a first-time visit discount code. I'll also have a code for discounted 10th visit on the same profile. (Too hard to track over multiple accounts - i.e. both FurFather and MeowMother have their own accounts - reaching the ten will not combine them. Reach out with any questions! -Greg

Take in the serene view of the surrounding area, and get a birdseye view of Opportunity Farm, where sheep graze the nearby paddocks. Wire-wheel tables and chairs are available for relaxing, hanging out with your dog, having a picnic, a birthday party with your dog's pals or watching a dramatic rising or setting of a full moon. Have your dog invite their friends to join in the fun, or have a private play date just with you!
