Location

Amherst, Virginia

Description

This is a beautiful spot for dogs. A quiet State Road runs along one edge of the property, but the woods throughout the property are the real draw. Lots of natural space to explore. When it rains, there is a stream that runs through. There are many footpaths through the woods for your dog to explore, but feel free to make new paths. The barbed-wire borders of the property are well marked by ribbons and paint, except for the road frontage.

Hazards

HOST NOTE

Some areas are muddy, and storms often bring down branches, so watch your step. There is barbed wire along the orange-tagged border. Barbed wire appears occasionally throughout the property. A long time ago, this was a cow farm, and there are reminders of that history throughout the property. More recently, I believe they operated a commune here, and there are signs of that as well. The trails are flat but rugged, and you and your dog are welcome to go off the path into zone 4 and 5 terrain. Vines, roots, and other walking hazards may be present. The property inclines gently towards an intermittent creek that runs along the middle of the property, which doubles as a wonderful path when dry. It appears after a heavy rain and disappears in a dry spell.

Bear's Creek 13 Acre Unfenced Private Dog Park In Arrington

Unfenced

13 acres

Beautiful isolated 13-acre spot in the country. There is a clear, well-maintained marked trail through the woods to an area with springs, a creek, and a watershed. Moving on down the 1/4 mile driveway past the house is a path down to the Tye River that has a nice-sized riverbank (beach) for romping and water splashing. Swimming dogs can venture onto the rocks to explore the river. Those who want to exercise can hike up/down the stream, climb big rocks, and other obstacles. This highly wooded area has lots to explore “off path” and on path, so you can never experience everything in one visit. This is heaven for dogs and for those who prefer a challenging exploration vs a standard field or yard to explore. The walk to the creek/springs/watershed is a beautiful, relatively easy walk. The river walk, while there is a trail, is pretty steep and rocky, and it's a good workout to get back up. Join us at Bear’s Creek for an adventure your dog will thank you for! Rules for the river: Low tide, all are welcome. High tide, swimmers only, or dogs with excellent recall. Raging River, closed to all. If you're most interested in the river and you know we have had a lot of rain, you can message me prior to booking for river status. If you don’t message me and the river is closed, you will receive a notification.
