55What a lovely spot! We were in the area to visit a friend and thought it would be nice to take our dogs for a walk together somewhere. This spot fit the bill perfectly! Directions from the host were on point, and the trails were very well marked. We stuck to the blue trail, and it took us about 45 mins to walk it. It's a very nice loop trail. We plan on visiting again the next time I'm in town. If you have a reactive dog, this would be an excellent spot to visit!
55Very well marked trails! We enjoyed it!
55Thanks again! We had a wonderful time!
55We had such a wonderful time! This was our first doing this on the Sniffspot app. The trail was clearly marked. I was not sure about time, but one hour was plenty of time to walk the blue trail. It comes back out where you park. The dogs loved it!

55Our dog loved wandering through the trails with us. The creek was dry but we hope to go back sometime when it's got some water so he can splash around!
55water in the creek again!
55We loved it here! The trails are very well marked. My dog didn’t want to leave!
55Beautiful, well marked trails! We stuck to the blue trail that had some turns and I was impressed by how clearly they were marked. No dogs in the sight, perfect for my reactive pup! We'll definitely go back!
55We are happy with our creek time today!!

Hazards

HOST NOTE

This spot has a water feature which runs seasonally, make sure to review these guidelines for visiting spots with water before visiting: https://help.sniffspot.com/article/167-how-to-keep-your-dog-safe-around-pools-and-water Due to the large wooded area, mushrooms can grow wild. Please be cautious when walking your pet. Some mushrooms can be toxic to dogs. The trails are very private and maintained. There may be limbs that fall in the trails due to the deeply wooded area. Due to the trails being in the woods, the surface can be uneven- you need to watch your footing and know you are walking at your own risk. There may also be wild animals (deer, rabbits, raccoons, etc…. Bear and coyotes are rare, but have been known to roam). - it is not recommended to take your dog off leash unless they have great recall.

Water safety notice

Make sure to practice dog and human safety around water. Read more

I have three fur babies. One is a retired police dog, the other is a goofy lovable chocolate lab, and my newest is a therapy dog in a school. My dogs are super spoiled, they get to roam acres and acres of land on a regular basis. I’m so happy to be able to share this with you.

The Vista 518

Unfenced
28 acres

Welcome to The Vista, a 30-acre outdoor space, with 15 acres for dogs and owners to enjoy. The area includes three main sections: an open field, a pond, and hiking trails. While there are no visible animals or pets on the higher levels, neighbor dogs may occasionally be visible at a distance from the lower areas. Wildlife is active and may cross your path—please avoid interaction when possible. This is an unfenced, off-leash location, and we cannot be held liable for dogs who are escape artists! Our pond spans 20 feet across and over 20 feet deep, with an almost immediate drop-off when stepping in. The pond is spring-fed and stocked, so feel free to swim, fish, or float during your visit (anytime between June and November). There is no electricity or formal structure, but you are welcome to set up a tent or umbrella for shade. This is a carry in–carry out site, so please leave no trace behind, including your trash. For twice the fun with your furry friend, consider upgrading to camp overnight! A porta potty is onsite, but there is no water or electricity available. Please note that security video surveillance is in place for safety. **A kennel club uses the lower field on Wednesday nights and Saturdays 10-5. There WILL be dogs within view, at a distance, during these times**
