55Wow what a beautiful spot! So happy to have this close to Austin. My dogs could get out of the fence at a few places but I think the fencing was better than described, and I just call them back over (but wouldn't be a good fit for a dog who takes off). Super secluded, doesn't seem to have any nearby neighbors. There is some barbed wire the owner seems like she's clearing out but again she was honest about it! For us it's a 10/10 spot!Rachel H.

55I wanted to say it was so cool that the last time I was here the owner reached out to see where my dog got out of the fence so she could fix it! It's a huge property so I'm sure securing the fence will take her some time but wow, how cool is that! I heard very quiet hound baying that was far away, but the immediate neighbors had no dogs and it would not bother most reactive dogs.Rachel H.

55This was an amazing spots. Lots of land, lots of different textures and elevations. Would recommend wearing closed toe shoes with good grip, there are quite a few places with steep inclines and loose rocks.
My dog absolutely loved it. If you have a high energy pup, scope out the landscape first and make sure to guide your dog a few times over certain paths to avoid holes and loose rocks.
Finding the entrance can be tricky so really pay attention to the map given. Beyond that bring water for the pups, and some mosquitos/bug repellent. Also if you plan on playing with toys with your pup make sure they are brightly colored and have tails, or are large. The grass is in pretty tall and it’s easy to loose sight of things. latania f.

55The directions that Monica gives are very accurate. Just be sure to pay attention when you are driving. The spot is beautiful, with plenty of shade to rest in and a ton of room to run and explore. The dogs had a great time. It was just what they needed. We stayed for two hours, and brought a lot of water. The spot was very well cared for and free of waste. 10/10. Absolutely no one to trigger my reactive dog, it was very endearing to see her run and explore just how I wish she could everyday. She struggles with reactivity and fear, but was able to be her true self today. Julia C.

FAQ about our Smithville 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 Smithville?
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.
