55Lovely spot! even with the rain the trail was able to be navigated and my pups had a great time! The trail was well maintained and easy to find for the most part.
My only suggestion to the host would be more clear trail markers towards the back, especially if that’s the end of the sniffspot route - there’s a fork in the trail and we walked down both sides without seeing any of the rainbow trail markers, so we ended up coming back a little early out of concern for trespassing.

55Beautiful property! The host Teresa provided clear instructions and there were also signs to help guide you. A lovely trail through the trees which allowed some freedom for our reactive pup to explore and sniff to his hearts delight. Thank you so much for hosting us. We can’t wait to visit for a little longer next time. Mags B.

55This is a wonderful spot! The rainbow trail markers are charming & cheery. Trail offers both hills & flat plus several spots where the pups can access a creek or little ponds. There is also a little bench to sit. Hostess is gracious & gives directions tailored to the day. Highly recommend. Annie J.

55Easy trail to follow with plenty of new smells for the pup! We stayed on a long leash. Could see some people on adjoining properties through the trees, but had plenty of privacy Susan L.

55My dogs had SO much fun!! The parking is easy, trail is easy to find and easy to navigate, and their dog is super sweet and fun. My bigger dog had a blast running around with their dog through the woods. My smaller dog enjoyed leisurely walking beside me. The host and hostess were nice and helpful as well. We will be regulars here!Flannery P.

55We loved this spot. Tons of room to play frisbee and run around. Our Aussie is generally good with recall which made me feel better so she didn't run up to the neighbors farm and bother the sheep :) We will definitely be back.Alex L.

55The trails were very easy to follow and in great condition. It was a little muddy as it had rained recently. The owner’s dog was outside and super friendly and joined us on the trails, which my dog loved having another friend to play with! While the owners dog is super friendly, if your dog is not friendly or you do not want any others dogs around, make sure that you notify the owner since the dog was outside right when we got there. Me and my dog very much enjoyed the trails and the company!! Marie G.

55Always a great time getting out into nature. Please be advised people on dirt bikes can pass through even if you stay within the owner’s 3 acres and don’t venture in to the public land. If your dog does not have reliable recall please exercise caution and take this into consideration when booking. Brittani P.

55Dogs really enjoyed this spot! It is hard to tell where her boundaries are as there is no fencing. My dogs know that a referee whistle means treats so they come running when I blow the whistle. I had 3 dogs and could not always see all three. Part field and part woods.
A little soggy in the lower areas. Robina T.

FAQ About Apex 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?
