55This place was incredible and completely off the beaten path! It has everything - plenty of room to roam/run, water everywhere with some nice swimming holes and beautiful scenery. It is very clean. Be sure to bring the bug/tick spray!. The property has a long driveway that runs parallel to a creek with 3-4 places to pull over. A vehicle that can handle rocky mountain terrain is best for this adventure. I communicated with Danielle prior to my arrival because Google Maps directions were incorrect. There is also a gate, so I recommend sending a message to the Host prior to your arrival. Be aware of the neighbor dogs that will greet you and get very close to your vehicle as you enter the gravel/driveway beginning. Also, the road becomes very narrow (one way) as you approach the property. Danielle was the best, giving my dog treats and talking to him. She gave us a tour so we would know the lay of the land and there are other places we didn't even get to explore because this place is vast. I hope to return soon with friends and possibly for an overnight camping trip, which is also an option! This is the best experience I've had so far using Sniffspot in the Chattanooga area.Tiffany J.

55What a beautiful, magical place to let my dogs run free, explore, and splash in the creek without any concern that we’ll run into other dogs and have an “incident”. Danielle was so kind, meeting me at the gate to show me around. We will definitely be back! Desiree B.

55Danielle's Private Dog Park was absolutely amazing! My dogs were having the time of their lives running around through the trails, woods and swimming in the creek! They slept all the way back home and I know will sleep great tonight. Danielle is an outstanding host and one of the kindest humans I have ever met. We will definitely be back! Thank you so much again Danielle! Dani W.

55Gorgeous land! My girls had an amazing time being off leash and having all the space to themselves. The river was beautiful and clear blue 😍. Will def return again this summer to swim
Note: it’s best to have an all wheel drive type of car as it’s a rugged drive in but also adds to the adventure Mellisa P.

55We brought our 3 year old mini Aussie who LOVES to swim…let’s just say it was 2 hours of nonstop water play for sure! Every time I thought he needed a break he’d jump right back in and swim his little heart out. The water is cold so it’s super nice on a hot, sunny day. Even fun for us parents to skip rocks and walk around everywhere. We all loved this little adventure!!Savannah S.

FAQ about our Dunlap 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.
Are dog parks safe?
