Dana's 6.5 Acre Fully Fenced Private Dog Park In Leicester

Fully Fenced
6.5 acres

Please read everything about this property before booking. There are detailed descriptions about what to expect. If you book this property it's assumed that you are comfortable navigating steep, rugged trails. And that you understand there is mud present. Sometimes very slippery mud if it has rained recently. In addition, please message me in the app if you need anything or have an issue. I'm happy to help if I'm around (and usually I am).

Wooded trails ~ 10 minutes from downtown AVL

Unfenced
5 acres

Whistlepig Trails offers 5 acres of wooded, hand-maintained trails designed for dogs and their humans to explore. The paths wind through a natural hillside, with gentle slopes, packed earth, and plenty of interesting scents along the way. Maintained with care, these trails provide a safe and engaging space for dogs to roam, sniff, and stretch their legs. Located within a small, artsy campground, the space has a rustic, creative feel, with upcycled structures and a relaxed atmosphere. Sniff Spot visitors are welcome to use the restroom facilities during their visit. Please keep your pups on a leash at all times. Please note that it is possible that the neighbors dogs could make an appearance. Unfortunately, we have no control over this. :( There's a good chance you'll see other people around the property while you're here. We run a campground for visitors to Asheville and also have folks who live on the property.

https://youtu.be/XMlu-_mwiD0?feature=shared Welcome to cloud 9! Our sweet little slice of paradise. Click the YouTube link to see a video tour of the property as it was operating prior to the hurricane. Most everything still looks the same... We've removed a couple of tiny houses but otherwise it is as as depicted in the video. With slight changes based on season. We have 9.5 acres of pristine mountain glory We have a large unfenced Field, Shallow Creek with some small waterfalls, a spring that feeds a tiny pond, a large cleared Homesite that's away from the road moderate to difficult trails and beautiful views. The trails are moderate until you come to the areas that we had landslides, at which point, you can turn around or enjoy the difficulty it presents. Sometimes I or other guests may be on property. If you don't want any other dogs present while you're here, please confirm by text ahead of your reservation time. Thanks so much! We look forward to sharing our sweet space with you. We do not have any trash service. Please do not leave any trash of any version on property including plastic wrapped poop... you'd think that would go without saying...but experience shows it must be said.🙄 All of your activities while on property are at your own risk.

David's 66 Acre Unfenced Private Dog Park In Brevard

Unfenced
66 acres

My property has multiple trails, 2 small fields, streams, a large pond for swimming, and a dog wash station! Lots of space to play. Truly a dog paradise! My property is located on a long, gravel driveway (named by me as Maple Gap Rd) off Frozen Creek Road and just a short distance from the back entrance of Gorges State Park. Once turning onto Frozen Creek Road it’s about 1.3 miles on your right. You’ll see a small green sign saying Maple Gap Road and a Sniffspot sign. Parking is available beside the garage (looks like a house). Ok to park behind my silver truck that stays there. You’ll see a Sniffspot ‘park here’ sign, a dog waste station with bags, and a brown bench with tennis balls, water bowls, and bug spray in a storage bin under the seat. Access to the two small fields and stream is across the gravel driveway. My two homes on the property are vacation rentals by owner. If you see guests they may/may not have dogs. Make sure to introduce yourself as a Sniffspot customer. Also, please call or text owner to give advance notice, along with your names and dogs. Thank you! 678-640-0359

Camp Cruso - River Trail Adventure

Unfenced
100 acres

Looking for more than just a fenced yard? A private hiking trail through 100 acres of Appalachian forest leading to a secluded river location. Explore miles of private woodland trails with your dog as you hike through the mountains of Camp Cruso. This self-guided adventure leads to a beautiful, secluded section of the East Fork of the Pigeon River where you can relax, explore, splash, and enjoy nature together. Along the way you'll experience peaceful forests, mountain scenery, wildlife, and the sounds of a cascading waterfall before reaching the river. This is a hiking experience—not a quick walk—making it perfect for active dogs and adventurous owners looking to spend quality time outdoors. Important: **Leash - Your pup is required to be leashed near all Camp Cruso farm animals, for their safety** **Private - This is a private property, but you may not be the only guest/pup during your visit** **Moderate to Strenuous Hike - This trail includes hills, uneven terrain, roots, rocks, and natural forest conditions - we are not a national park with a manicured trail** **River Use - The destination is a natural flowing mountain river. Water levels and currents vary depending on recent rainfall** **Self Guided - This is not a guided visit**

It’s a bit of a steep incline to get back out (by my standards, I am definitely out of shape though lol) but I didn’t mind at all. It was so fun for both dogs and humans to explore the entire time. Much more stimulating that a flat grassy field. Truly loved it, will definitely be back!

55This was like taking my dog hiking in the woods but without worrying he’ll run away! I’m working on off-leash training and this was the perfect spot! It is steep, a little muddy, and buggy. I would recommend hiking shoes/boots and bug spray. If you’re not able to walk down/up steep inclines, this might not be the spot for you, but if that’s not a problem, I highly recommend this spot for exploring!

55Amazing spot! Very steep and muddy. There are walking sticks available at the entrance, I recommend grabbing one. Don’t try to do this without hiking shoes meant for muddy inclines! Def load up on the bug spray too. My pup absolutely lost his mind. We can’t wait to come back. The fence is fragile. If your pup is a true escape artist and/ or able to jump above 5 ft, I’d recommend a leash. Also note you will hear many other dogs barking and roosters. This could be triggering to come pups.

55What a beautiful property! I definitely recommend this spot if you are agile and don't have any issues with hiking up hills. It was a little muddy, but of course it's been raining a lot. We really enjoyed it and would love to come back- when it's a little drier. Also, there is poison ivy here and there (as expected), so just be mindful about your dog trampling through it and getting it on your skin. Definitely go check out this spot! It's a great place to let your dog just run and explore ❤️

55The best property in our area! Fully fenced 6+ acres of shady, wooded trails that go down to a creek, with diversion for dogs to splash in. Our dogs have never been so happy and free. Wear your hiking shoes, we are glad we did so we could enjoy the trails with the dogs (although they were running laps around us). There are benches in several spots, a bin for trash and waste (please bag your dog's waste if possible and bring your own trash out with you, this helps everyone) - the bulletin board with pending details and walking sticks were a nice touch. Thank you for all the hard work you have put into the perfect space!

Frequently asked questions about Leicester dog hiking trails

What types of dog hiking trails are available in Leicester?

Leicester has 13 dog hiking trails offers wooded trails, open meadows, and varied natural terrain. Whether you need a fully-fenced space for poor recall, a quiet location for a reactive dog, appropriate sizing for small breeds, gentle terrain for seniors, or specific amenities like water features or agility equipment, you'll find options in Leicester. Filter by fencing, size, distractions, and amenities to match your needs.

When can I book dog hiking trails in Leicester?

Leicester dog hiking trails are available based on host scheduling—many operate dawn to dusk or even 24/7. Unlike public dog parks with rigid hours, you choose the exact time that works for you. Check individual Leicester listings for specific availability. Flexible scheduling is especially helpful for dogs with specific needs: reactive dogs who do better during quieter times, working dog owners needing early/late slots, or seniors needing cooler morning hours.

How do I book a dog hiking trail in Leicester?

Browse 13 available dog hiking trails in Leicester, select your preferred date and time, and reserve through Sniffspot. Most Leicester locations offer instant booking. You'll receive confirmation, exact address, and entry instructions. The booking process takes just minutes—perfect when your dog needs exercise, whether that's a reactive dog requiring safe space, a puppy needing socialization, or an energetic dog burning off steam.

What's the most popular dog hiking trail in Leicester?

Riverside - 16 acre mix of fields/woods/trails on the French Broad River is highly rated among Leicester dog hiking trails, known for excellent amenities and positive reviews. However, the "best" spot depends on your dog's needs—reactive dogs might prioritize privacy and quiet, puppies might need secure fencing, seniors might want flat terrain, while active dogs might want maximum running space. Browse Leicester listings to find your ideal match.

Can I use Leicester dog hiking trails for training sessions?

Yes! Leicester dog hiking trails are perfect for training because they're private and distraction-free. Work on recall, practice trail recall in natural environments, leash manners on varied terrain, or hiking endurance building, help reactive dogs build confidence, socialize puppies, or work on obedience—all without public dog park unpredictability. Many Leicester professional trainers use these spaces for client sessions with all types of dogs.

Do Leicester dog hiking trails accommodate multiple dogs?

Most Leicester dog hiking trails welcome multiple dogs from the same household. Some hosts set limits (check listings for specifics). If you have several dogs—especially if some are reactive toward strange dogs or if you have mixed ages (puppies and seniors)—private dog hiking trails let them play together safely without outside interference or triggers.

What amenities do Leicester dog hiking trails offer?

Leicester dog hiking trails feature amenities like marked trail paths through natural terrain, open meadow areas for off-leash play, and shaded rest spots along the route. Many hosts provide extras: poop bags, water stations, toys, shaded seating, parking, even dog wash stations. Each Leicester listing clearly shows what's available. Look for amenities matching your dog's needs: shade for heat-sensitive breeds, water for swimmers, agility for active dogs, or privacy features for anxious pets.

Are Leicester dog hiking trails available year-round?

Many Leicester hosts maintain their dog hiking trails throughout all seasons. Filter for covered or climate-controlled options if weather matters. Indoor dog hiking trails provide year-round access regardless of Leicester weather conditions. Check individual listings for seasonal availability and policies.
