55The place was fantastic. Kathy / Bobby had chairs set up and fresh water for our dog to enjoy while running around. The pond looked beautiful although our dog did not hop in! Will be returning soon!Richard B.

55Very cool place, hosts were so nice and showed us to the trail head as well as brought out a big water bowl for our pups after. It says it in the post but the rainbow markers lead you to the trail head and if you follow them there’s no issues finding it. Amy S.

55Great spot for exploring. Trail is marked well leading you across a creek and to the ATV trail. Owners were very accommodating and showed us the trail entrance. My little boxer had a great time exploring the area and playing in the creek. Scott D.

55We had so much fun at this spot. It’s varied terrain with lots of water and room to explore. Wear boots if it’s rained recently because a good part is adjacent to wetlands. But in general, it’s pristine, and everything went smoothly. Thanks for sharing your land! tessa j.

55Our pup thoroughly enjoyed this spot! Wooded trail, make sure to wear appropriate shoes/clothing. The creek crossing was fun for our dog ❤️ beautiful property. We could hear barking dogs (never saw or encountered any) so if you have a dog that is triggered by that, just make a note. Emily C.

55Our dogs had a blast and loved playing in the creek! After reading other reviews, we wore shoes that could get wet and had no issues at all. We did hear a dog barking in the distance but it wasn’t in sight and our dogs weren’t phased by it. Would definitely go again!Jamie Lynn W.

55This is a beautiful trail along a small creek that backs up to Jordan Lake. Pay close attention to the trail markers that are a little bit difficult to see at first. My pups loved this spot!Kelly G.

55Great wooded area with a creek for our dog to explore. The trail markers are super cute multi-color blocks. Was a bit of a scavenger hunt to find them at a couple points after crossing the creek, but that added to the fun. Cortney B.

55Our dog had SUCH a blast at this location! We just recently adopted him, and have never "tested" him off leash - this was the perfect place to do so. The trail/woods themselves were clean, well kept, and marked! Sarah P.

55My deaf and reactive dog loved it! He got to have an adventure without anxiety of running into other dogs. There was plenty of shade and even some shallow water to splash in to stay cool. We plan on visiting again in the future!Brittney C.

55We had a great visit! Super quiet and peaceful. We had no problems finding the spot, some of the signage was a little confusing so we got lost along the trail. But the creek was awesome and our dog really enjoyed herself. Natalia P.

FAQ about our Apex 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.
