55Absolutely loved this place! Waffles loved it even more. He got to run around and explore the little trail. He also loved playing in the puddles. We will definitely be back to run around again. Milady D.

55A bit of a drive from Southside but it was a nice getaway for me & the pup! There's a little wooded area on the property which is very peaceful, as well as a small creek that runs through it. Roxanna had a sweet little sniffspot setup of poop bags and water bowl which was a nice touch. We really enjoyed the beautiful quiet property! One thing to note is that there is a very small amount of rusted barbed wire somewhat on the ground in the woods, towards the front of the property. The leaves padded it and there were no injuries - but it's something to be aware of. Thanks for a wonderful morning, Roxanna!!! Zarah Q.

55Murphy had a blast exploring the trails and stream. He had so much fun running and rolling around that he needed a good hose down after. Thankfully the hosts had a set up that they kindly allowed us to use before our ride home. Definitely try it out if you live a walk in the woods! Kristian C.

55Really beautiful spot. Our dog enjoyed the creek and meeting all the farm animals. We even got to meet the host and learn more about the rescue animals stories. Thanks for having us!Ashley H.

55This is such a great property! The paths and creek are nice and wide. It’s a short hike down to the creek (make a left at the second trail sign). The creek does get deeper than it appears in some areas, so keep that in mind if your dog isn’t used to the water. My dogs had the time of their lives sniffing away and running together in the creek. My little dog even tried her hand at fishing. We met the owner on the way out and she was nice as can be. We didn’t see any other people or animals on the trails or in the creek. Thank you for offering this amazing property! We will definitely be back. Kim L.

55Great private yard! Leslie responded to all my inquiries almost immediately and is very friendly. The yard is huge and filled with an assortment of toys. We did not have any mud or poop issues. Leslie was kind enough to also provide water, bowls, and a space heater! Great spot!!!Jessica D.

FAQ about our Powhatan 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?
