55This spot was incredible! We had a blast with our two dogs on a private hike through the woods. The trail is very clear and well-maintained. It was easy to navigate even with our dogs on long lines. The creek was pretty wide/deep on the day we visited, so we got our feet wet in spite of our hiking boots — wear your water shoes or rubber boots if you care about that, because you’ll definitely want to cross to the other side where the trail continues. The property owner is working on adding on to the trail. We’ll definitely visit Shain!Kim W.

FAQ About Troutville 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.
