Description

This is a beautiful spot for dogs. There is a quiet road running along one edge of the property, but the woods around 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 paths cut through the woods for your dog to explore. The borders of the property are well marked by orange ribbons except for the road frontage. .

Hazards

HOST NOTE

Some spots are sometimes muddy, so watch your step. The trails are clear, but you and your dog are welcome to go off the path into the woods. 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.

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.

Green Gate Haven

Fully Fenced
0.6 acres

Discover Green Gate Haven, a private, over half-acre sanctuary for dogs and their people! This serene field offers complete seclusion, nestled away from the road and our residence, yet it remains conveniently just minutes from I-81. Fun-Filled Attractions: Your dog will delight in a range of activities, including a sturdy tug-of-war post and a unique handmade playscape designed with paw-friendly, heat-reducing paint. They can explore a colorful set of tires or conquer our three-log obstacle. For the acrobatic pups, an agility course awaits, complete with weave poles, tunnel, hurdle, jump ring, and pause box. And for those who love to dig, a turtle sandbox provides the perfect spot for contained fun. Best of all is the freedom your dog will experience, running freely, while you enjoy peace of mind of knowing they are securely and safely contained. Curated & Natural Toys: We provide a generous selection of toys, including balls, launchers, rope toys, and a frisbee. Beyond our collection, the field itself offers natural "treasures" like feathers, leaves, sticks, and bark for your dog to discover, and you are of course welcome to bring your favorites from home. Comfort & Relaxation Zones: Unwind on our handmade bench beneath a canopy in the Haven Headquarters or arrange the three movable chairs to find your perfect relaxation spot. For the ultimate comfort, there is a hammock in the shade. Essential Conveniences: We ensure a comfortable and clean experience with a trash can, poop bags, and pooper scoopers provided. For your convenience, you'll also find hand sanitizer, sunscreen, and bug spray. For canine hydration, two four-gallon gravity water dispensers filled with fresh, cold well water will be set out on either side of the field before your arrival. And just in case the unexpected happens, there is a pet first aid kit in the Headquarters. Secure & Picturesque Landscape: Our 4-foot tall welded wire fencing and gate provide a secure environment, even for small dogs. While digging is welcome, we kindly request that pups avoid digging near the fence line to maintain its integrity for all visitors. The Haven boasts a natural landscape with some uneven ground (please exercise caution) and grass maintained at 2-3 inches. There are no nighttime lights, so please plan accordingly. The property is surrounded by forest on three sides, while the remaining side offers scenic views of an adjacent field that should be enjoyed only as part of the view. Embracing Nature & Neighbors: You’ll often see local wildlife such as deer, squirrels, rabbits, turkeys, turtles, and various birds. Our own dogs will be indoors during your visit, but our neighbors are accustomed to our vocal pups and some have their own who may "chat back" if your dogs are talkative! You might also occasionally hear the distant sounds of cows, and rarely the neighbors across the street can be heard, but not seen. Your Ideas Make Us Better! We are dedicated to continuously enhancing Green Gate Haven! We warmly welcome any suggestions or ideas you may have. Stay tuned for exciting new additions!
