35Biggest thing of note is the quantity of dogs on the property. They are contained, but they are outdoors in the area and barked throughout our visit. As someone with reactive dogs (why I love Sniffspots) this made the experience more anxiety inducing than most. Was super surprised to have not seen this mentioned in previous reviews, so just want to note this for others in the same situation.
55We will definitely be back, there is so much space for doggies to run and play, which is great for drying them off after swimming!
55My dog had a blast! He swam to his heart’s content. Out and back, out and back! Be sure to phone the pleasant host before you arrive so he can guide you to the play acres and ponds since they are not right next to the house which is on your right as you drive along. Have fun!
55lots of area for pups to run around, super cool!
55Great property. Dogs loved the pond
55Great
55Directions were spot on. The location and pond was awesome and well maintained. I booked an hour but the owner told me to stay as long as he wanted to 😊 My dogs had a blast swimming there. And of course my yellow lab did not want to leave as always. We'll definitely be taking my dogs to the spot again
55Wonderful property! Tons of space for the dogs to explore and a great area for swimming!
55Great space to let your pup run free. My old pup had fun exploring and slept well after.
55Great spot! My dogs loved running around the many areas to explore. I’ll definitely be returning.

Pinwheel Path

Fully Fenced
2.5 acres

Our 2.5 acre park is a tranquil path through the woods with multiple path options and limitless nature to behold, accompanied by a soundtrack of birds and insects. The ample trails that cover the park are easy to traverse, and your dogs will be delighted exploring the endless smells in between those paths to sniff…and pee on. If you love to hike with your dog but wish they could be off leash to investigate the wonders of the woods so you can marvel at the variety of ferns and fungi, this is the place to let your dog run free without worrying about them getting lost. The trails and fencing are a continual work in progress, maintained and built over a decade and then some. We ask our own dogs to help decide where any new paths should go, and if there are any gaps in the perimeter fencing, we hope you and your dogs will do the same. Please be mindful of roots and rocks along the paths, the trail is more natural in some places than others. Get your birding app ready, put your running shoes on, bring your camera and binoculars--there is more to this park than joyous zoomies for your dog! Trail Length: park perimeter is approx. .25 miles, all (3) loops are approx. .58 miles

Sam's Fully Fenced Yard For Dogs To Rent In Durham

Fully Fenced

Large backyard with a pool. Lots of areas to sniff around. Grass on one side and shady leafy area on the other. A doggy paradise. The pool and fire pit are available for use by adding it in extras. The pool is heated, typically until December and then I start again in March but feel free to ask. The fire pit is available if you bring your own wood. That is also available through extras.

Janet's Durham City Bark Park

Fully Fenced
0.11 acres

I have a fully fenced in yard. There is one gap, but we have covered it with cinder blocks. It is a 6 ft privacy fence, so you shouldn’t see the neighbors. One set of next door neighbors has a dog that is occasionally out. Please keep dogs on leash when outside of the yard. Thank you! Out in the yard there will be balls for your pup to play with, a water bowl, and a hose. We can also set up a tent we use for vendor events when it’s sunny or raining for shade/coverage. Just let us know in advance. There is also shade from a large tree in the yard. If you need a dog first aid kit, we will have one in the house along with things like water for humans, snacks for pups and humans, and a restroom for humans to use. If you need a towel for your pup, let us know, and we’ll be glad to give you a dog towel to use. We will bring things out to you. These are only available if we are home. Street parking is available at all times. You may park in the driveway, but please ask first in case one of us is going to have to leave (or coming back) while you are there.

3 wooded acres backing up to gamelands

We have 3.3 wooded acres set back from the cul de sac and we back up to Duke Progress public game land. Previous owners created a trail out there that connects to a power line cut and 4x4 trails. You can hike for miles if you want and probably won’t see another person. We have a doggy paradise on our 3+ acres.
