55What an amazing place! Lots of open space to run and wooded or grassy areas to hike. Maverick loved sniffing all over the property. Treats and water provided is helpful too. Can’t wait to come back!
55This spot was a dream!
55Beautiful place!
55Lots and lots and lots of open space to run!
55Beautiful day on the farm - there was a field full of turkeys when we pulled up!
55We love coming here! There's always fresh water and treats and seemingly endless space for the pups to run and explore!
55Had a fantastic visit!! Both pups had the best time!
55Sugar and I enjoyed an early, mountain- misty romp in Melissa’s fields. The sounds, smells, and scents of the fauna and wildlife are peaceful. I kept her tethered as not all sides are fenced and she was ‘on scent’ right away. We also made great use of the fully fenced ball throwing area at the front of the fields until she lay down, spent. Just the way I like her.
55We came across a nest of turkeys this morning! First time I think I’ve seen turkeys fly!
55Big open sunny fields. We saw some wild turkeys. Unfortunately it was so hot and humid at 10 am we will have to wait until the fall to return. We missed the driveway turn because it had a different number than the one in the directions but once we pulled in and parked near the gate to the fields it was obvious.

A family of 5, we enjoy sharing our farm with dogs and their humans in beautiful Western NC. We have loved dogs our whole lives and were blessed with Paddy, a sweet Great Dane boxer mix for nearly 12 years. We have fostered several over the years and presently have Seamus, a Frenchie mix. We love all animals and their innocent love for life and fun.

Great space! Lots of leaves, a little hilly. The shrubs and trees create a semi-fenced in yard. Hardly any dogs walk around near the house. My dog is reactive with other dogs but has not had an issue with not having a fence. Great yard for throwing ball!

#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!
