55The perfect spot! It was easy to find, the field was clean, and the fence was secure! There were plenty of toys to play with and clean water for the dogs and options for the humans to sit and watch their dogs play, if desired.Jamie B.

55Clean location, plenty of room to run, offers a range of human seating options (some under shelter), dog toys, water, etc. with a bucket for used toys and water dishes. We had a great time!Danille C.

55Wide open, quiet and fenced-in field with thoughtful accompaniments for both dogs and their owners! Definitely worth a visit if you have a buddy who enjoys long-range fetch, frisbee, or sniffing/exploring around. It was beautiful during the fall. Very much recommended. Hailey M.

55Lovely, big grassy field, fully and securely fenced. There were toys to play with, which Elvin particularly enjoyed, and water jugs and bowls provided. Plus a bin to place used toys and bowls in when we finished. A little shed with supplies and seats in case of weather, and some comfy chairs outside to sit in too. Miles (cattle dog) enjoyed sniffing freely, rolling in the grass, and, of course, gazing intently at the neighboring cattle. Perfect site to play and unwind from hours of driving, trialing, and hoteling. Thank you! One thing to note: I lost cell signal on my way out, which made navigating a challenge. Maybe download a map or make note of how you got there on your way in, just in case!Marilee A.

5510/10 best Sniffspot I have been to so far. Dawn has TONS of amenities that she offers for the dogs and the humans too (extra toys, seating, shade, water bowls and trash). The field is securely fenced, even for mild escape artists.
Will absolutely be back often!Courtney R.

55Beautiful property & fenced field! Safe entry with a fenced holding area and a (for human use) porta-potty. Nice extras such as a dog-shed with water & bowls, poopy bags and toys. Several chairs for relaxing while watching our babies RUN!! A great moment for my dog to let loose and be a dog!! Cheryl M.

55The fencing was great! Enough to keep my big guy (72 pounds) in. He’s a runner, not a digger, so this fence was perfect for him. I appreciated the shelter, seating and the clean dog bowls (water provided) and toys. I did not use the facilities, but it was nice to know it was there. We’ll definitely be back.Tiffanie M.

55We had the best time! We drove from Roanoke and it was super easy to find and scenic! The host thought of everything from toys to water and having bins to place used items to clean! I grabbed a bunch of business cards they were incredibly helpful! I hope to be back soon! My dogs are tired and loved it! If you have a dog smaller than 30 pounds just watch the gate gaps or place a chair in front of it. Otherwise super secure for little ones! Erika S.

FAQ About Catawba Dog Parks
Are dog parks good for dogs?
It is important for dogs to have off leash exercise to sniff and run. But the free and open nature of public dog parks has drawbacks. There could be aggressive dogs, disease transmission and cleanliness issues. For this reason, many dog behaviorists discourage visiting public dog parks and recommend Sniffspot's private dog parks. Sniffspot private dog parks only allow one guest to book at a time and are not open to the public, which solves many of these issues.
