Angel's 80+ Acre No Fence Needed Dog Nature park on Broad Street

Partially Fenced
80 acres

Over 80 acres of undeveloped woods and creeks, close enough to the city, but feels like the country. Here you can find places to roam freely far away from hectic city life. Bring your camera, metal detectors, pups, and bug spray, sunscreen, (provided when available!) Under slow construction for updates and features, its a great adventure spot if you and your furry friends are the curious and active type! Early morning and late afternoon are my favorite times during summer, but the other 3 seasons are perfect anytime! Enjoy! If you have any questions please message me!

Laken's 22 Acre Unfenced Private Dog Park In Palmyra

Unfenced
22 acres

Our property is nestled on approximately 50 acres, offering plenty of space for dogs to explore and enjoy. While not all of the land is cleared, there is a large, open cleared area surrounding our two homes. The rest of the property is beautifully wooded, with a trail that winds around the property and provides a great space for walks, sniffing, and exploring. Please note: Because of the wooded areas and natural setting, ticks can be commonly found throughout the woods. We recommend checking your dog for ticks after exploring the wooded portions of the property.

55I have a small reactive dog with tracheal collapse. He needs a place he can run off leash and not see things that make him bark a lot. We were in the Lake Land pasture, which was great as the sheep had eaten the pasture way down. Good for my dog as he has very short legs. Very big and securely fenced. Lincoln walked the perimeter and ran up and down the center. He was pooped after 30 minutes! And such a beautiful place!

55Of all the fantastic Sniff Spots near Charlottesville, this one has become my instant favorite! The farm is beautiful and so well organized and maintained. The pasture where my dog could play fetch and explore was heavenly for both of us. Even on a hot day, I could sit in a chair and both of us could rest under the shade. It doesn’t get better for us than this. Communication with our host was flawless. I look forward to returning!

55This farm is absolutely stunning and Michele is so lovely!! She provided clear instructions, expectations, and was communicative throughout the day. My australian shepherd/border collie mix absolutely loved running around and exploring Pool Pasture. It was incredible seeing her light up at the amount of space to roam all to herself, and we loved seeing other herding dogs around on the drive in and beyond our spot (all fenced)! Distractions were minimal and fencing was very secure, so I would love to go back and do training at some point. Michele was amazing about getting us in after I called, and I greatly appreciate her work in getting the field ready for us as they are clearly very busy, but still wanted us to have a good time. They have a working farm, so just remember to call in advance and do not expect a perfectly manicured backyard! This a perfect place for herding dogs who love to run and feel “free.” We were not in an area that had water, but still brought towels (thank God!) because our pup loved to roll in the dirt. Grass in Pool Pasture was high, which was no problem for us personally, but if your dog is a tick magnet and likes to get into stuff like ours, just be on the lookout and wear long pants/boots. :) So happy this spot exists. Thank you so much Michele!!!
