Fully Fenced

5/20/26 Thank you for waiting for opening after winter/mud season. The field does have a few low spots that are still pretty wet, we hope they'll dry more over the next week. Description: Repurposing our field fenced area, roughly an acre sized lot. We enjoy pups, having a pair of our own, they will be kept inside during your visit. The field is mowed as often as possible, only one gate entrance (left corner looking from barn), bench and refuse bin provided. The field is to the left of the barn from roadway view. Park in front of signage partially on the gravel driveway is great. If you have any questions, please reach out. Hope your visit is enjoyable!

Eva's 40 Acre Unfenced Private Dog Park In New Haven

Unfenced
40 acres

Give your dog the gift of freedom on 40 private acres in New Haven/Monkton. This spot has it all — shady woodlands, a peaceful pond, open meadows, and trails that climb up to a ridge with sweeping views of the valley and farmlands below. Whether your pup loves splashing, sniffing, scrambling over mossy ledges, or just stretching their legs in wide-open space, this is the perfect place to let them explore off leash. With no other dogs or people during your booking, you’ll have the entire property to yourselves for a safe, stress-free adventure. Located just minutes from Vergennes and Middlebury, this hidden retreat feels a world away — quiet, scenic, and full of seasonal beauty.
