55It's a great spot for dogs to roam and explore. Be aware that the fence will not necessarily keep your dog in, but it is a nice to have. Our dogs had no issue just exploring the space and having a good time. If it's been raining, make sure you bring some boots!Liz B.

55Nice wide open field with a playground and some other fun things for the pups. A couple fence gaps, so not the best for an escape artist but worked for us. Friendly and communicative host. McKenzie M.

55Great wide open space for my dogs to run, they had a blast! The fence isn’t 100% secure but Preston let me know ahead of time and it was enough to keep my dogs contained, I would just be mindful if you have a runner. We will definitely be back!Alex O.

55We loved this spot, it’s clean and well maintained. It’s a large open field but also has fencing in and around it, I like the layout because it gives off a sectioned feeling, allowing plenty of little corners and different areas for your dogs to spend lots of time exploring and sniffing around, but still remains wide open enough to give you full visibility of your dogs if they wanna run off and explore on their own, you can always see them. The fencing is complete and secure as promised, with the exception of one small opening in the fence-line all the way in the back, which the host advises you of before your visit. I also noticed that the entrance gate has a gap at the bottom when closed, this wasn’t an issue for my big dogs but something to keep in mind for smaller dogs. Maybe not a great place if you have a determined escape artist, or you aren’t confident in your dogs recall, but again the area is big and sectioned off enough to be able to just kind of stay away from those two small spots and my dogs didn’t even notice them. It doesn’t really have much shade tho so just keep this in mind for the hot days and brings tons of water for your dogs! There is a small little carport covering by the entrance with two foldable chairs that ended up being the perfect homebase to take shaded breaks in and put water out. It’s a quiet spot and we didn’t experience any distractions while we were there. The host is very nice and responds to any issues very quickly. I would definitely come back to and recommend this spot. Orianne W.

55Very considerate host, lovely open farmland for my dogs to explore. I let my dogs run off leash and they really enjoyed the space and freedom. One section in back corner has an exterior road entrance, so I stayed with the dogs and kept them from going through. So much space they didn't even notice. I will be back!James S.

55The grass was very well kept, which my toy breed dog very much appreciated as she doesn't want to do anything when grass touches her belly. The fence was also in great shape and had no faults in it where she could get out. Both of my dogs had a great time exploring the yard. We will definitely return.Alexa K.

55Ripley & Kain had so much fun that they nearly wore themselves out in the first 20 minutes
They played chase, lounged in the mossy shady parts of the yard, soaked up some sunshine, and smelled ALL the smells they could.
This property was great!
Poo bags and a disposal container are available on site, as well as water bowls, easy access to water, and kiddie pools.
We will definitely be back! Thank you for such a great experience on sniffspots!Hailey B.

FAQ about our Haw River 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. With Sniffspot all bookings are private for just you and dogs you bring with you and we require all dogs to be vaccinated (or have equivalent titers). All Sniffspot locations are vetted and reviewed by guests so you can find the perfect place for you and your dog. 97% of reviews on Sniffspot visits in the Haw River area are 5 stars.
How do I know if a dog park works for my dog?
You can filter Sniffspot dog parks by fencing and distractions. If your dog doesn't have good recall, you can visit one of our 296 fully fenced dog parks in the area. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our 34 off leash areas where there are no dogs audible or visible nearby. You can also filter locations to avoid other domestic animals and people. We also recommend reading reviews and reaching out to the host with any questions.
