Amanda's Private Dog Park In Hopewell

Bear's Creek 13 Acre Unfenced Private Dog Park In Arrington

Beautiful isolated 13-acre spot in the country. There is a clear, well-maintained marked trail through the woods to an area with springs, a creek, and a watershed. Moving on down the 1/4 mile driveway past the house is a path down to the Tye River that has a nice-sized riverbank (beach) for romping and water splashing. Swimming dogs can venture onto the rocks to explore the river. Those who want to exercise can hike up/down the stream, climb big rocks, and other obstacles. This highly wooded area has lots to explore “off path” and on path, so you can never experience everything in one visit. This is heaven for dogs and for those who prefer a challenging exploration vs a standard field or yard to explore. The walk to the creek/springs/watershed is a beautiful, relatively easy walk. The river walk, while there is a trail, is pretty steep and rocky, and it's a good workout to get back up. Join us at Bear’s Creek for an adventure your dog will thank you for! Rules for the river: Low tide, all are welcome. High tide, swimmers only, or dogs with excellent recall. Raging River, closed to all. If you're most interested in the river and you know we have had a lot of rain, you can message me prior to booking for river status. If you don’t message me and the river is closed, you will receive a notification.

John's 30 Acre Unfenced Private Dog Park In Faber

Faux Mountain Views

The views are incredible and we call it our Faux Mountains especially with a light fog. You can typically see around 4 miles out across the horizon. Fall leaves will make this a great photo opp for those looking for pet pictures. Over half of a mile of Trails and a couple of small fields focused around the pine trees in a previously logged area. Please do not cross the creeks. We plan to open that area up once we get signage to over a mile of trails. There is a hidden fallen down house can you find it along the trails? please be careful of the main road, and try not to let your dogs run off. During deer season please wear blaze orange or pink. Gravel Parking area is just outside the gate, the single wire electric fence isn't ever on. We hope to improve upon this if it shows popularity. Be mindful of wildlife, farm life, and please keep your dog under control at all times. The drive around the pines is pretty easy walking. The fields may have sticks or stones in them so be mindful of your fur babies feet in those areas. If you head down past the cow waterer you can let your dog get a sip from the creek if need be, but please don't go to the other side yet.
