55It's a great spot for dogs to roam and explore. Be aware that the fence will not necessarily keep your dog in, but it is a nice to have. Our dogs had no issue just exploring the space and having a good time. If it's been raining, make sure you bring some boots!Liz B.

55We had an amazing time even in the rain. The area is large and fenced great, there was a kiddie pool, toys, chair and water bowl. Our dog is dog selective and this was a no stress and enjoyable retreat!Meagan S.

55This space was perfect for my energetic and reactive dog. No other animals were seen, and there were occasional cars driving by. He definitely enjoyed his time! Brooke B.

55This is our very first sniff spot experience and it was perfect! Tina was very helpful and the pasture was just what my dogs needed. There are some shaded areas in the pasture and very well fenced in. She has chairs available and a dog bowl you can use (BYOWater).
We can't wait to come back!!

55This spot was perfect in every way for our reactive dog. She had a huge amount of space to run and play, and she especially enjoyed splashing in the baby pool. The area was clean and had excellent shade for hot days.Jennifer H.

55This was our fourth time coming to this property and it's our favorite! The grounds are well kept and the large field gives so much room for running. Also, the host provides water bowls, tennis balls, and water refill in case if you run out. Besides how much my dogs love it, I also look forward to coming here each week now too!Kelly G.

55Really spacious and private area. No view of other dogs or people, so great for reactive dogs. I'd only recommend larger dogs for this spot. I have a small dog and it was fine, but there is a roughly 7-8 inch gap at the bottom of the entry fence that small dogs can climb through, which my dog almost did. Make sure your dog has GOOD recall skills if you decide to bring a smaller dog! Alisha R.

55We brought our two fur babies to play here and they had a blast! I was a little worried at first if they were really going to enjoy it or if it was going to be as good as it sounds. But trust me, it was even better than what we thought. We will be bringing them back here!!Cydney P.

55This was a perfect spot to take our puppy to run off some energy and explore! He loved all the toys and the pool, which helped him stay cool. We went from 8:30-10 and the yard was at least half in the shade, which helped with staying cool. Very nice spot!Em H.

55This place was amazing! Huge space completely fenced in (we have a little escape artist- the fencing was really secure around the entire yard). A bin of dog toys, a little table & chair, a kiddie pool, and a hose. Trees for shade. The dogs had a blast! They ran around, chased balls, then had a dip in the pool. Tina was super responsive with directions. We will be back!Amy B.

55Bella had a blast! The space was large enough for her to get into a full sprint and she loved playing with the toys provided and those we brought. The weather was cool enough we didn’t need to use the mini pool on site, but next time we’ll bring a towel so Bella can have a splash. Sara W.

55Everything was just as described. Space was large and in a quiet area which was nice to enjoy the scenery. I am thankful for the extra toys and water available. My dog had an absolute blast roaming and playing! He was definitely tired out for the ride home! Worth the trip and will definitely be returning😁🌄🐾Katherine G.

FAQ about our Haw River dog parks
Are dog parks good for dogs?
It is important for dogs to have off leash exercise to sniff and run. But the free and open nature of public dog parks has drawbacks. There could be aggressive dogs, disease transmission and cleanliness issues. For this reason, many dog behaviorists discourage visiting public dog parks and recommend Sniffspot's private dog parks. Sniffspot private dog parks only allow one guest to book at a time and are not open to the public, which solves many of these issues.
