55My dogs had such a BLAST!!!! this place is more wild than most others I've been to. They thoroughly enjoyed sniffing and exploring in the brambles and thickets off the trail. Next time I will remember to wear long pants: the grass was kind of long and I was worried about ticks! This place might not be so good if you don't have excellent recall with your dog, but Kathy states that, that it's only partially fenced. I was confused about where to go when I got there so I messaged her and she came right out and gave me directions. Thanks Kathy! I bet it would be really awesome in winter! Anna F.

55An absolutely gorgeous spot! The dogs loved getting to run and sniff around! There were nicely mowed looping trails and the meadow was lovely. The host was friendly and accommodating and we had a great time!LeeAnn C.

55Wonderful trails through a beautiful meadow! Some parts of the paths are very close to active train tracks (my dog ran over the tracks chasing a bird!) so keep and ear out for the train if you’re worried about recalling your dog. Emily M.

Quiet Country 22 Acre Woodland Waterfront Park | Sniffspot
55Wonderful location for a pup that wants to explore! Trails cut all thru property that make getting around easy. Mix of woods, meadows and heavy underbrush. Bring long pants and bug spray if plan to go off trail. The kid/pup loved every second of it including the welcome provided by the hosts’ chickens and turkey!
Great communication from host. Quick responses to messages. Donald V.

55The wooded trail was peaceful and enjoyable! There weren't really that many bugs up until a small wet part but not really that big of a deal, was super fun and the puppies loved it! Kasey was kind and we will most likely be back sometime!Nakhleh K.

FAQ About Charlotte 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.
Are dog parks safe?
While public dog parks have a number of safety issues, such as aggressive dogs, disease transmission and general cleanliness, Sniffspot dog parks much safer than public dog parks.
