Top Public & Private Dog Parks in Manakin-Sabot, VA

Nice little secluded walk. Clear instructions for finding the spot. Note that the drive in is very rocky and if you have a low clearance car, you may scrap somewhere. Bug spray is available for the dogs, and they have water and toys. Signs point to where the trail/creek is. The creek did not have a lot of water where the little bridge was. Saw deer, turtles, and a lot of spiders. :) Would go again!

My pup and I felt welcomed with water and bug spray even though I made the booking the same morning! Very beautiful place, well tended trails, easy access without feeling intrusive to the host, and just perfect for us.

Great spot! My dog loved sniffing around the trails. The host sent clear directions and was available if needed.

Very nice clear trail! Water and bug spray was left out which was very sweet. My dogs had a great time, will definitely be back!

So much fun for my pup and plenty of trail for her to run around and sniff! We had a great time.

Huge spacious property with lots of room to romp and run! The path was a good distance to walk and the dogs enjoyed zooming in and out of the woods along the way. We can’t wait to come back in fall or winter when we can explore even deeper in the woods!

This was my first ever visit to a Sniffspot, so I don’t have anything to compare my experience to. This spot offers large, private acreage close to town. The driveway is a bit hidden, but the number is clearly posted so you will know you have the correct drive. It is a long gravel driveway that splits in a Y shape about a hundred yards down. The Sniffspot is reached by driving down the left branch, which is clearly noted in the booking confirmation and on the property. At the Y fork, there is also water available for the dogs, which is a precious gesture when visiting in the middle of summer, as I was. At the end of the driving path there is a big field, a shelf with dog toys and bug spray, and a little sign post pointing you in the direction of the trail/creek. My dog really enjoy all the new, raw smells. I do wish the trail was a bit longer, but I know the owner is working on developing that. It was so hot, my dog was ready to go home after walking out and back. The owner was very responsive and clearly communicated all necessary information. I would definitely go back sometime.

Great location and a wonderful spot with plenty of sniffing opportunities for our dogs. The owner thoughtfully provided water and bug spray, which we really appreciated. They’re also planning to expand with more trails, which would be super awesome! We're looking forward to more visits in the future.

beautiful spot at a great price, my dogs had a blast playing in the creek and munching on the grass in the field

Great secluded area in the woods with trails and a small creek. We followed the trail past the creek up the hill and saw a wild turkey, that happily ran into the woods and we left each other alone. Most of the trail is shaded which was ideal with the warmer weather. Ticks are really bad everywhere this year, so dress appropriately and pack bug spray. The host met us when we arrived with a cooler of bottled water and bug spray, in case you forgot yours. I definitely enjoyed a cool bottle of water at the end of our visit. Definitely an awesome spot for sniffy dogs!

Amazing spot! Trails, a creek, and a mowed pasture to play in. The place was huge and beautiful! The nice host even left water bottles, snacks, and bug spray (a must!).
