The neighbor has a right of way to get to their field they may drive across, however they only come up a handful of times a year so they aren't likely to be there. Around once a week there may be people mowing/weedeating/etc. as well. (usually not on weekends but can't 100% guarantee that.)

Sunday Morning Gallery's 0.5 Acre Fully Fenced Private Dog Park Mills River

Fully Fenced
0.5 acres

Hi we have a fully fenced private Sniffspot dog park in Mills River. Chairs, lots of toys. We plan to keep upgrading and adding doggie activities and amenities as the weather warms up! Let us know your needs or ideas. We think this app is amazing and want to make our spot great! We work from home and also have a Rover business. Let us know if you are looking for a dog sitter! Rover: Check out Ann & Jaren's pet care profile on Rover: http://r.rover.com/dbpJAj We have chickens in a secure coop. It is not accessible by your pups so no worries! We have upgraded the fencing and included privacy screens so the dogs can’t see the chickens! **The chickens do not roam the entire field** so no worries about chicken droppings in the dog park. :) See pictures, they have their own secure section of the park. Our 3 dogs love the dog park, we hope you will too! We sell fresh eggs, $6/doz. just ask. Directional signs are installed. Here are directions: Go past the red brick building on the left to the large gravel parking lot. Park there and the park is open to you any time. You will see a car cleaning area for our car rental business. The entrance is right there. You will see sniffspot signs with arrows. We will keep our dogs inside at all times. We have a local arts and crafts store, Sunday Morning Gallery, on the top floor as you pass the building. Please come in and browse - just ask, by appointment only currently.

David's 66 Acre Unfenced Private Dog Park In Brevard

Unfenced
66 acres

My property has multiple trails, 2 small fields, streams, a large pond for swimming, and a dog wash station! Lots of space to play. Truly a dog paradise! My property is located on a long, gravel driveway (named by me as Maple Gap Rd) off Frozen Creek Road and just a short distance from the back entrance of Gorges State Park. Once turning onto Frozen Creek Road it’s about 1.3 miles on your right. You’ll see a small green sign saying Maple Gap Road and a Sniffspot sign. Parking is available beside the garage (looks like a house). Ok to park behind my silver truck that stays there. You’ll see a Sniffspot ‘park here’ sign, a dog waste station with bags, and a brown bench with tennis balls, water bowls, and bug spray in a storage bin under the seat. Access to the two small fields and stream is across the gravel driveway. My two homes on the property are vacation rentals by owner. If you see guests they may/may not have dogs. Make sure to introduce yourself as a Sniffspot customer. Also, please call or text owner to give advance notice, along with your names and dogs. Thank you! 678-640-0359

Pondside Paws Park

Fully Fenced
0.5 acres

Welcome to Pondside Paws Park, located in a quiet valley 15 minutes outside of downtown Asheville NC. Here you will find a peaceful, fully fenced in half acre lot with a pond for your pups to swim, romp, sniff, play and have a great time. For those more adventurous dogs, there's even a dock for jumping into the pond! There are opportunities for enjoying the pond regardless of your dog's age or exercise ability, as there is a shallow area with tall grass for wading and splashing, and a deeper area for swimming. The slope of the land is gentle for those older dogs as well- this spot is suitable for dogs of all ages and abilities. For the humans, we have several seating options including a picnic table and 4 chairs under a shade sail. Bug spray, sunscreen, fresh drinking water for the dogs and a tote full of toys is also provided in the weatherproof storage shed next to the seating area. Waste bags are available if needed, although we appreciate people bringing their own, and there is a waste container located at the entrance, next to the kiddie pool that is used to rinse off muddy paws. It's recommended that you bring a towel to dry them off before getting back into your car. We hope you enjoy the spot and leave it as you found it for others to enjoy as well.

#3 Fun field for a furry frenzy 3- Field of Dreams in Fletcher

Fully Fenced
4 acres

Have you ever wanted to run your dog on three football sized flat fields? This is your chance. Located behind UPM Raflatac in the cane creek industrial park this huge spot is the third one we have built. It’s perfect for all ages of dogs and their humans because of the terrain! If you are up for an adventure, we have cut in a small trail to access Cane Creek. It is part of the same property but is NOT fenced in any way. If your pup enjoys off or on leash hikes, then feel free. The trail is outside the fencing look for the silver gate across from the Gazbo. It is an out and back path with two small hills about a 3-5min walk in the woods. A picnic table, gazebo with swing, and hammock are located here for lots of seating and shelter. Some toys are provided. I think a Remote Control car or a drone, a mountain bike might be really fun to bring or even a Remote Control plane. This spot is actually part of the old Fletcher airport. No Digging! PLEASE! All I want in life is to help people to have balanced dogs in their lives! Enjoy!
