Description

🌳🐾 Welcome to The Hidden Gem on Wildcat Creek—Dayton, Indiana’s best-kept doggy paradise! ****Don’t let the rugged approach fool you. Past the gate is an acre of pure freedom: shady napping spots, tall grass for zoomies, sticks galore, and Wildcat Creek itself—cool water, soft sand, smooth rocks, and the soothing sound of rushing water. ****We want you and your pup to feel right at home here. Bring a snack, sip on some cold lemonade, and hang out as long as you like. Feel free to walk the creek (just use caution—there’s no lifeguard on duty). And if you spot a special rock, shell, or the perfect stick? Take it with you as a keepsake—a little memory of your day at The Hidden Gem. ******Perfect for pups who love to splash, sniff, and explore—and for owners who want to unwind in nature’s secret hideaway. Come see it for yourself. Your dog will thank you. 🐾💦✨

Additional rules

🌿🐾 Welcome to the Creek Spot! Please read these friendly guidelines before you visit: ✅ 1. Enter through the Main Gate Please use the main gate at the entrance and walk straight down to the creek. ✅ 2. Secure the Second Gate You’ll come to a second gate on the way. Just unhook it to pass through—but please latch it back behind you. Our horses are escape artists who love to roam if given the chance! ✅ 3. Parking You’re welcome to park on the left side of the street closer to the property. Just please leave enough room—cars do need to pass through from time to time. ✅ 4. Watch the Weather & Creek Conditions If it’s been raining, please check the weather and creek levels before you visit. The water can rise quickly and the current can get dangerous. Swimming is at your own risk—there’s no one on site to help. ✅ 5. Explore & Take Treasures Feel free to collect shells, rocks, or other creek treasures—no worries at all! ✅ 6. Bring Swim Shoes On nice days when the water is low, you and your pup can walk right through the creek. Don’t forget your swim shoes for easy exploring!

We are located in the center of Flora Indiana, snuggled in between two friendly houses and neighbors that have dogs that are friendly. We also have cats inside and a big bay window they will be watching you out of haha! It’s usually quiet around but someone you have your average traffic noise. We don't scoop our dogs poop usually so there is some land mines here and there, sorry!

Bankhead Farms's Fully Fenced Private Dog Park In Brownsburg

Fully Fenced

Nestled on the rear of our 5 acre property, this private dog park features a serene country backdrop with views of barns, corn fields with cabins that you can use the porches to relax in rocking chairs and watch your furry friend(s) have fun. We have chickens and dogs on the property that will be isolated from guests via separate fencing but cannot be seen once you enter the sniff spot. We are always looking for ways to improve so if you have any suggestions please leave them inside the White Barn as you enter the property to park.

Emily's 1 Acre Fully Fenced Private Dog Park In Carmel

Fully Fenced

1 acre

Lush, fully fenced backyard in quiet, dog friendly neighborhood. .5 acre space - plenty of room for dogs to run and play, while you sit and enjoy the area. Located right off 96th and Ditch, convenient for travelers on I-465, Highway 31, or Michigan Rd. We have no dogs, but do have small children and a cat. This is not a good place for aggressive dogs for this reason, and because our neighbors have a dog (visible through the fence). Guests may park in the horseshoe circle drive in front of the house (please don't block the driveway to the garage) and let themselves into the back yard using the wrought iron gate next to the garage and trash cans. Please bag all dog waste and deposit in the blue lidded trash can. Feel free to enjoy the patio furniture and any kids toys! Wi-Fi network is: opiecat_guest Password: sniffspot

Greg's Private Dog Park In Brownsburg

Fully Fenced

2 acres

We have a 2 acre fenced pasture behind the house. The grass may be long, however, will be occasionally cut so shouldn’t be crazy. Your dog and shoes may get muddy after rainy days. Please plan ahead. The fenced area is entered on the right side of the property through swinging gates. Owners of small dogs may want to be careful near the gates as the openings are large enough for small dogs to get through.

Tranquil Tails - 1.5 acre Fully Fenced PRIVATE Yard (Reactive Dog Friendly)

Fully Fenced

1.5 acres

Welcome to our spot, the perfect place for your friend to enjoy some off-leash time in a safe and controlled environment. We understand that some dogs may be reactive or require a bit more space, and we are happy to accommodate their needs. Our location offers plenty of room for your dog to explore and play without the worry of unexpected encounters. No immediate neighbors have dogs that share a fence with us. Occasionally, a dog in the distance may be outside near the southeast corner, but this is rare, ensuring a calm and enjoyable visit for your pet. A kiddie pool is available in the summer, but I will need to be notified in advance on whether or not you would like it filled. Two humans per dog are allowed unless arrangements are made with me in advance. Please note that the yard may be wet or muddy after rain or snow. Additionally, mole holes might be present in some areas (providing extra sniffing opportunities!) 😜 Additionally, our spot is conveniently located right by the B&O Trail, making it easy for you to warm up or cool down your visit with a walk. Come visit us and give your dog the freedom they deserve!! Feel free to bring a speaker if you want to listen to music during your visit! 🐾
