55I’ve been eyeing this sniff spot for months and finally got the chance to try it. 10/10 recommend - very much worth the trip from San Antonio. If you are considering it, just go ahead and book it! You won’t regret it. We only spent 1.5 hours there but easily could have spent 3 or more. Very easy to find, and so much space for my 3 dogs to run. My dogs didn’t want to leave. We already can’t wait to go back! Lauren S.

55If you have a reactive dog that likes to explore this is the dream. 10 acres of fenced in paradise with not a dog or person in sight!

55Easy to find, lots of space to walk and let dogs swim. Was great to get our line of retrievers out on big water for distance work. Only thing I will say is be careful of fishing line near shore and in the flooded timber. Jason N.

55Really cool spot- didn’t find it hard to find like others mentioned. Lots of dirt roads to walk and explore, easy water access. My dog had a blast! Lots of rocks by the water so watch your pup’s paws if they aren’t used to the terrain - we got a few scratches but nothing bad. Also be aware that the lake itself it public so you will likely see other people around the shore but they didn’t get too close and my dog was having too much fun to care. Dina C.

55Mahalo Haven was the most peaceful and amazing place to take our pup. She had the time of her life. My dog tends to be an escape artist and I was worried about not having eyes on her at all times, but all of the fencing was incredibly secure and I was able to relax and let her explore. Natalie was a great host and even provided toys and water. We will definitely be back as often as we can make the drive! Jordyn M.

55Nice spot with clean restrooms, water for the dogs, and even toys for them to play with as well as plenty of shaded seating for the humans. I took all three of mine. My shepherd (whom I am working with on a lot of things) didn’t want to leave at the last minute. Aaargh. But good visit. Cara C.
