55Heed the hostess advice and information.
First off- this place is BEAUTIFUL. The lake was a major hit with both of our dogs. The wooded area provided plenty of sniffs and smells to get their brains working.
To note:
1. Ticks- we did end up with ticks on each of us- I had 3, my husband and each dog had 1.
2. This spot is probably not a good fit for people-reactive dogs. As the hostess noted, they are often home enjoying their land as well. The hostess and family were indeed home and outside for our visit but they stuck to their fenced in yard so there was no direct interaction.
3. The lake area is at the front of the property. There is a small grass field between the lake and the road (no fence). We did see other people walking/running along the road and a dog at one of the neighboring houses.
4. We visited during a holiday weekend. There were some loud noises like gun shots or fireworks but the property itself was so interesting to our dogs that it actually didn’t faze them 😊
We did travel about an hour and a half to this spot and it was well worth it. My only concern with a return visit is the ticks (mostly because that was a new experience for me LOL) but my husband was unbothered so I am sure we’ll be back! Rachel B.

FAQ about our Stephens City 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.
