Jessica's 9.5 Acre Unfenced Private Dog Park In Black Mountain

Unfenced
9.5 acres

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. Owners, heirs, and other affiliated parties are not responsible for anything that happens to you or your pet.

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

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. For leash-less exploring, that's dog-dependent. There are cats near the big open field, and if your pup likes to chase cats, then we'd ask that you kept your dog on a leash for the safety of our not-terribly-athletic cat. :) On the trails should be fine, but please make sure they're leashed in the parking area. 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.

Camp Cruso - River Trail Adventure

Partially Fenced
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. 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**

55Once we found it, lol we had a wonderful time. Lol This place is great for my rottweilers. We did have a a problem with the dog across the river from the beach. He didnt want to leave. So we left and went exploring dry land, and he was gone when we got back. My male is reactive, but that's why I went for e-collar training for both of them. A beautiful relaxing spot once the other dog was gone!! And he was just doing his job on the other side!! Thank you so much for a great spot for them to roam. We will be back...mine LOVE to swim!!

55Good spot with great river access for the doggies that love the water. Little hard to find on the first visit, even with the hosts detailed instructions, so give yourself time to do that.

55Our 6 month old Lab mix pup had a blast. He had room to run and chase a ball and he took a stroll along the fence line. I kept him on a long leash because he could and did try to crawl under the fence. But this is a perfect spot to let him run and play. Thanks for the chairs for the people and the water dish and water for the dog.

Frequently asked questions about Pisgah Forest dog hiking trails

What do private dog hiking trails in Pisgah Forest offer that public parks don't?

Private dog hiking trails in Pisgah Forest offer complete privacy (no other dogs), specialized environments for natural exploration and varied terrain, professionally maintained cleanliness, flexible 24/7 scheduling, and safe spaces for all temperaments—puppies, seniors, small dogs, reactive dogs, or any pup needing accommodations. Public dog parks in Pisgah Forest can't guarantee any of this. With 20 options, you get predictable, controlled environments perfect for your dog's specific needs.

Can I find fully fenced private dog parks in Pisgah Forest?

Yes! Most of Pisgah Forest's 20 private dog parks are fully fenced. Use the "fully fenced" filter to find secure enclosures with detailed specs: height (4ft, 6ft, 8ft+), material (wood, chain-link, vinyl), and gap information. This is crucial for escape artists, puppies learning boundaries, reactive dogs needing contained space, or small dogs who might squeeze through. Pisgah Forest listings include fencing photos so you can verify security.

When can puppies start visiting dog hiking trails in Pisgah Forest?

Puppies can visit Pisgah Forest dog hiking trails as early as 8-10 weeks with initial vaccinations, much earlier than the 16+ weeks needed for public park safety. This early, controlled socialization prevents fear and reactivity issues later. Plus, puppies can explore natural exploration and varied terrain without being overwhelmed or learning bad behaviors from poorly socialized adult dogs. Many Pisgah Forest trainers specifically use dog hiking trails for puppy development.

How do I find private dog hiking trails near me in Pisgah Forest?

Browse Pisgah Forest's 20 dog hiking trails on Sniffspot by entering your neighborhood or zip code. Filter by distance, then narrow by features: fully fenced, "fewer dogs seen/heard," specific amenities, terrain type, or size. Each Pisgah Forest listing shows photos, reviews, exact location, and instant availability. Local favorite Riverside - 16 acre mix of fields/woods/trails on the French Broad River is particularly popular among Pisgah Forest dog owners.

Can I rent dog hiking trails in Pisgah Forest by the hour?
