55Perfect.
45It’s pretty and quiet, but a little tough for the little senior doggie without a trail. Make sure you’ve got boots and long pants. There are some prickers along the dry creek bed. All in all a nice host and sniff spot :)
55We both loved this Sniffspot so much it was the perfect amount of exercise and enrichment that he needed. He was asleep the whole way home and it was just a great experience for both of us!
55Absolutely perfect, serene, and natural! Our dog loved scampering through the woods and so did we!
55This is a great area. There are no dedicated paths, so it's a make your own adventure type lot, which gave me the piece of mind I wouldnt run into other people / dogs, as my foster is reactive. You can see the owners house when you start and a nieghbors property as you explore but I saw no people or animals while I was out there. I booked last minute so I didnt get a chance to talk with the owner and get the layout of the property. I do recommend if its your first visit, to book ahead so that you can meet the owner and learn the boundary. For my visit, I just stayed near the creek and dry river bed, and also respected any fencing I came across. The lot was perfect for my foster and I to explore without worry.
55My two black labs loved it Nothing like running in the woods and getting all wet in the creek Great host too
55Our dogs had lots of fun exploring the creek and the woods near Bridget’s house.
55This was my first sniffspot, and it was lovely. Acres of woods for my dog to run around in, and a nice creek to cool off. She had a great time, and we will definitely be coming back.
55Amazing space, my dogs had so much fun playing in the creek!
45An enjoyable spot. Wear long pants as the trail to creek is not maintained all that well. Once you are creek side you'll be in good nick. It would be most enjoyable after a good rain when the creek would be at its fullest.

HOST REPORTS

Sometimes

there are barking dogs in the neighborhood, but are confined in kennels in neighboring backyards. my own dogs use the fenced backyard, which is not included in my site. I can confine the ducks/geese to the yard based on your preferences, but my chickens are very independent and unlikely to venture into the woods around you or your dog(s).

HOST REPORTS

Sometimes

I keep ducks and geese and chickens and let them free-range on the property. I am happy to keep the ducks fenced in my private backyard, but my chickens can fly over the fencing - they generally stay within sight of the house. There are acres and acres of undisturbed woods for you to enjoy with your dog(s), out of sight of my pets and poultry. You may hear roosters crowing, and my cat might like to join you on your visit, but I can put her inside if necessary, and with notice.

Location

Hillsborough, North Carolina

Description

Our property covers the creek by the road and extends into woods that are not used by anyone. Our friendly cat may join you on your walk, or you could get quacked at by my ducks! I can secure the cat and ducks if needed, but my chickens are very independent and tend to stay close to the house. I am home most of the time, and usually outside to give walking tips or point out landmarks; also for any problems! My yard is not part of the site! I would prefer if you would keep your dogs secure around my home and pet poultry, until you get down to the creek/woods.

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.

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
