55Great spot for my big boy to run in the woods
25Unless your dog has a very solid recall, I would not suggest this spot. It did not feel safe or private. The driveway is the main walking area, and it is shared by neighbors. There was a car that drove by while my dogs were off leash, and there was not much space to move over. Luckily they were close by and I could grab them quickly. There is a small wooded space that felt they had a little space to run around, but the field play areas are very small and exposed to the driveway. Sniff spots are supposed to be private and safe for off leash play. I did not find this private or a safe spot for play.
55My dog had the best time running in the grassy areas and woods and splashing in the creek. Nice to be able to sit too!
55This place is awesome. It’s perfect for what I need for my dogs as they’re not the friendliest but do have kind of decent recall. It allowed me to give them some freedom while also practicing commands. There’s two different sets of fields for fetch and then a couple different creeks for them to lay in. This isn’t a trail hike though so as long as you know that going into it i would definitely recommend. I’ll be back for sure!
55Beautiful spot! Our dogs had a great time exploring and cooling off in the creek. There’s a barbed wire fence in the woods - just something to be mindful of!
35I hate to leave a less than great review but this spot just didn’t work for us. It’s marketed as having trails but there aren’t any trails… we tried to make our own but just got covered in mud and spider webs. The host seems super nice and accommodating but I had zero service (Verizon) so I had no way to reach out.
55A beautiful shady area with open areas and sniff trails. Clean and pristine. The small creeks were refreshing. The areas to sniff were well marked.
55My pups loved exploring the woods and they found a little creek to cool off in. You have to blaze your own trails through the woods, but we didn't mind.
55Beautiful property! Thank you for sharing it.

Description

Welcome to Our 4-Acre Mountain Dog Oasis! Give your pup a chance to run, splash, sniff, and explore on four private acres in beautiful Arden, North Carolina. The highlight of the property is our fresh, flowing creek—perfect for water-loving dogs who enjoy splashing, wading, and cooling off. There's also plenty of open space for running, fetching, exploring, and working on recall. While your dog has an adventure, you can relax under our covered picnic shelter with comfortable seating and enjoy the peaceful mountain setting. 🐾 What You'll Love 🌊 Fresh Flowing Creek A natural creek gives water-loving pups a place to splash, play, and cool off. 🌳 4 Private Acres Plenty of room for zoomies, fetch, sniffing, exploring, and outdoor adventures. ⛱️ Covered Picnic Shelter Take a seat in the shade and relax while your pup plays. 🥏 Great for Recall & Long-Line Training The open space makes this a wonderful setting for practicing recall, whistle training, long-line work, and boundaries. 🌿 A Peaceful Mountain Setting Enjoy some time away from crowded dog parks in a natural Western North Carolina environment. Good to Know Before You Visit Our property is not fenced, so dogs should have reliable recall or remain on a long lead. Because this is a natural outdoor property, you may encounter birds, squirrels, insects, and other local wildlife. Creek depth and water conditions may vary depending on recent rainfall and weather. Bring your dog's favorite ball, frisbee, or water toy—and get ready for some happy, tired pups!

Pondside Paws Park

Fully Fenced
0.5 acres

Welcome to Pondside Paws Park, located in a quiet valley 15 minutes outside of downtown Asheville NC. Here you will find a peaceful, fully fenced in half acre lot with a pond for your pups to swim, romp, sniff, play and have a great time. For those more adventurous dogs, there's even a dock for jumping into the pond! There are opportunities for enjoying the pond regardless of your dog's age or exercise ability, as there is a shallow area with tall grass for wading and splashing, and a deeper area for swimming. The slope of the land is gentle for those older dogs as well- this spot is suitable for dogs of all ages and abilities. For the humans, we have several seating options including a picnic table and 4 chairs under a shade sail. Bug spray, sunscreen, fresh drinking water for the dogs and a tote full of toys is also provided in the weatherproof storage shed next to the seating area. Waste bags are available if needed, although we appreciate people bringing their own, and there is a waste container located at the entrance, next to the kiddie pool that is used to rinse off muddy paws. It's recommended that you bring a towel to dry them off before getting back into your car. We hope you enjoy the spot and leave it as you found it for others to enjoy as well.

#3 Fun field for a furry frenzy 3- Field of Dreams in Fletcher

Fully Fenced
4 acres

This is the best dog park in all of Buncombe County! Have you ever wanted to run your dog on three football sized flat fields? This is your chance. Located behind UPM Raflatac Warehouse in the cane creek industrial park this huge spot is the third one we have built. It’s perfect for all ages of dogs and their humans because of the terrain! If you are up for an adventure, we have cut in a small trail to access Cane Creek. It is part of the same property but is NOT fenced in any way. If your pup enjoys off or on leash hikes, then feel free. The trail is outside the fencing look for the silver gate across from the Gazbo. It is an out and back path with two small hills about a 3-5min walk in the woods. A picnic table, gazebo with swing, and hammock are located here for lots of seating and shelter. Some toys are provided. I think a Remote Control car or a drone, a mountain bike might be really fun to bring or even a Remote Control plane. This spot is actually part of the old Fletcher airport. No Digging! PLEASE! All I want in life is to help people to have balanced dogs in their lives! Enjoy!

Kelly's 1 Acre Fully Fenced Private Dog Park In Candler

Fully Fenced
1 acre

We have over an acre, fully fenced. Pull right up to the marked gate by the out building and go right in. Tall trees provide shade and there is seating. Our dog Oliver shares his toys and we keep a doggy waste station available for easy cleanup. We live in the house on the property with our 2 dogs but want to share our spacious yard with others. The doggy pool is out in warm weather and is filled with filtered water. Please do not come early as our dogs are in the yard between bookings, and please leave on time. We do a lot between visits to get the yard ready for the next guest, and also our dogs enjoy checking pee mails. Leaving 2-3 minutes late, or later, puts us behind schedule and we are typically booked back to back all day.
