Private 20-Acre Wildlife Preserve with Nature Trails and Water Access

Unfenced
20 acres

Bring your fur babies to this beautiful private wildlife preserve in Gerrardstown. Our private property features nature trails that lead to a 7 acre pond and private access to Back Creek. Your pups can take a swim in the pond or splash around in the beautiful crystal clear creek on the backside of the property. There are otters in the pond so be watchful that your fur babies don’t have a negative interaction with the wildlife. We only host one booking at a time so the full 20.56 acres will be yours for the time you reserve. Additionally this property has three main areas. At the base of the driveway, you will find a forested area with clearing to sit in the shade and let your pups play with the available dog toys or explore. Make your way to the back of that first main area to begin your first nature trail which leads you straight to the beautiful 7 acre pond where more seating is available. From the pond there’s another winding trail that takes you through the backside of the forest and then opens up on Back Creek. Parking: You can park at the top of the driveway, on the side of the road, or you can bring your vehicle down the driveway. For small cars it is recommended To park at the top of the driveway due to unlevel terrain. Before you leave the property: please clean up all of your dog waste and dispose of in the waste bins along with any trash. And please place the dog toys back in the bin. We look forward to hosting you and your family!! The address provided takes you to an older driveway. Directions to the current driveway will be provided upon your reservation.

Mark's 5 Acre Unfenced Private Dog Park In Kearneysville

Unfenced
5 acres

There is a road bordering property. If your dog is off leash he/she needs strong recall. Also, pond is very muddy, I dont recommend swimming for dogs. There are a few short trails around the property. I don't have a lot of restrictions as I probably will be at the house when you are there. I only ask that visitors do not allow animals on house property such as porches and wood walkways. We are approachable if you see us outside and encourage it. Our beloved GSD 'Samantha' passed a year ago and we miss seeing her running through the fields. Deer on property daily but they will avoid you generally with canines. If your pet has an unhinged prey drive I'd probably bag it since I border several acres of wooded property with zero containment. Thick, unmanaged forest!

Bloomhill Farm over 5 Acre Farmland and Forrest Partially Fenced Private Dog Park In the heart of Manassas

Partially Fenced
5 acres

This is a great area, a farm secluded in the middle of Manassas. There is a large field on the side of the house that is mowed and maintained. Behind the field there is a wooded area that you can also explore with a small fence that will show you the boundary. There are some trails maintained and mowed throughout the wooded area as well. We are adjacent to the 234 bypass but a line of trees shield you from the sight of cars. There are no domestic animals here anymore but the fields are still here and beautiful. There is plenty of room for you and your dog to run around and enjoy some peace, quiet, and freedom!! You can throw your Frisbee or ball as far as you want! There is a covered little seating area and a hose for freshwater or if you need to hose down some feet. There is a trash can available and easy parking. I hope you enjoy this area as much as we do it's a beautiful place and we want to share it.

Horse Farm in Lovettsville

Partially Fenced
28 acres

Come for our glorious sunrises on the creek and sunsets in the fields or just to enjoy the day exploring the fields and creek. The dog area starts past the broken black fence behind the house and goes down through the fields and into the woods. I would appreciate it if you would kindly please keep the dogs leashes and wait until you are past the broken fence to allow your dog to do any business. If your dog is under control or if the horses are not out, you can let them loose right after the broken fence. If you think your dog might be nutty with the horses, please take appropriate measures. To get to the creek, go past the broken fence and keep going down the hill to the back tree line. I have included a map in the pictures. And then just keep walking; it’s about five minutes from the house to the trailhead. We have set out fluorescent yellow markers on the trees on the back tree line as you approach the trail. We also put up a blue sign that says “To The Creek” at the trail head. Once in the woods, walk down the steep hill and take the trail to the right at the bottom of the hill, before the little ravine. That trail will take you out to a spot where your dog can splash around and I’ve cut a few trails to explore back there. If you go to the red barn, you’ve gone too far. The trail is right at the base of the hill. We are looking forward to having you!

55Heed the hostess advice and information. First off- this place is BEAUTIFUL. The lake was a major hit with both of our dogs. The wooded area provided plenty of sniffs and smells to get their brains working. To note: 1. Ticks- we did end up with ticks on each of us- I had 3, my husband and each dog had 1. 2. This spot is probably not a good fit for people-reactive dogs. As the hostess noted, they are often home enjoying their land as well. The hostess and family were indeed home and outside for our visit but they stuck to their fenced in yard so there was no direct interaction. 3. The lake area is at the front of the property. There is a small grass field between the lake and the road (no fence). We did see other people walking/running along the road and a dog at one of the neighboring houses. 4. We visited during a holiday weekend. There were some loud noises like gun shots or fireworks but the property itself was so interesting to our dogs that it actually didn’t faze them 😊 We did travel about an hour and a half to this spot and it was well worth it. My only concern with a return visit is the ticks (mostly because that was a new experience for me LOL) but my husband was unbothered so I am sure we’ll be back!

Frequently asked questions about Stephens City dog hiking trails

What do private dog hiking trails in Stephens City offer that public parks don't?

Private dog hiking trails in Stephens City 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 Stephens City can't guarantee any of this. With 16 options, you get predictable, controlled environments perfect for your dog's specific needs.

Can I find fully fenced private dog parks in Stephens City?

Yes! Most of Stephens City's 16 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. Stephens City listings include fencing photos so you can verify security.

When can puppies start visiting dog hiking trails in Stephens City?

Puppies can visit Stephens City 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 Stephens City trainers specifically use dog hiking trails for puppy development.

How do I find private dog hiking trails near me in Stephens City?

Browse Stephens City's 16 dog hiking trails on Sniffspot by entering your neighborhood or zip code.
