55Had a great time! Silas loved it there !
55This property was everything we dreamed, pup had a blast chasing sticks in the creek but it was lovely to have an area to walk and explore to take a break. Certainly hope to return!
55Great place for my babies to run. Theyblove the water...so 2hrs of swimming wears them out!!
55My dogs loved the river and the small pond! Thanks for sharing your spot with us!
55Great space to run the dogs and let them play in the river. There was a loose dog across the river that barked the whole time and acted like it wanted to swim across the river to get to my dogs.
55Great time, even in the rain.
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!!
55Easy access, safe space for running off leash and swimming. Our Labradoodle had a great hour of exploration and fetch in the river.
55It was a great spot for our dogs who are off leash trained. The only people we saw were floating on the river. Plenty of room to run and play…as well as just walk.
55Great spot along the river! Was a little unsure of where the property ended so we mainly stuck to the large open area by the river and didn't explore the areas through trees. Definitely wear bug spray. Would be a great spot to bring friends and spend more than an hour enjoying the space.

“The neighbor has a right of way to get to their field they may drive across, however they only come up a handful of times a year so they aren't likely to be there. Around once a week there may be people mowing/weedeating/etc. as well. (usually not on weekends but can't 100% guarantee that.)”

#3 Fun field for a furry frenzy 3- Field of Dreams in Fletcher

Fully Fenced
4 acres

This is the best dog park in all of Buncombe County! Have you ever wanted to run your dog on three football sized flat fields? This is your chance. Located behind UPM Raflatac Warehouse in the cane creek industrial park this huge spot is the third one we have built. It’s perfect for all ages of dogs and their humans because of the terrain! If you are up for an adventure, we have cut in a small trail to access Cane Creek. It is part of the same property but is NOT fenced in any way. If your pup enjoys off or on leash hikes, then feel free. The trail is outside the fencing look for the silver gate across from the Gazbo. It is an out and back path with two small hills about a 3-5min walk in the woods. A picnic table, gazebo with swing, and hammock are located here for lots of seating and shelter. Some toys are provided. I think a Remote Control car or a drone, a mountain bike might be really fun to bring or even a Remote Control plane. This spot is actually part of the old Fletcher airport. No Digging! PLEASE! All I want in life is to help people to have balanced dogs in their lives! Enjoy!

Pondside Paws Park

Fully Fenced
0.5 acres

Welcome to Pondside Paws Park, located in a quiet valley 15 minutes outside of downtown Asheville NC. Here you will find a peaceful, fully fenced in half acre lot with a pond for your pups to swim, romp, sniff, play and have a great time. For those more adventurous dogs, there's even a dock for jumping into the pond! There are opportunities for enjoying the pond regardless of your dog's age or exercise ability, as there is a shallow area with tall grass for wading and splashing, and a deeper area for swimming. The slope of the land is gentle for those older dogs as well- this spot is suitable for dogs of all ages and abilities. For the humans, we have several seating options including a picnic table and 4 chairs under a shade sail. Bug spray, sunscreen, fresh drinking water for the dogs and a tote full of toys is also provided in the weatherproof storage shed next to the seating area. Waste bags are available if needed, although we appreciate people bringing their own, and there is a waste container located at the entrance, next to the kiddie pool that is used to rinse off muddy paws. It's recommended that you bring a towel to dry them off before getting back into your car. We hope you enjoy the spot and leave it as you found it for others to enjoy as well.
