55Excellent running spot! Field has no shade, which is not a mark against the property but something for first time visitors to know. Creek was easy to access and pond was low and fun for my guys to chase dragonflies in.Julis H.

55Craig is a beyond a phenomal host. He and his two Rotts stayed with us for playdates - a full 2 hours in the rain. Such hospitality and unexpected turn of event. The spot is perfect for swimming with big beautiful creek and Craig offered to teach my pup to swim when water gets warmer and low later in the Spring. Craig mentioned a place to hike so we will have to check that out next time. Note, there’s a camper on site in the field but was told it only happens on weekends. They have dogs, so if your dog is reactive, drive your SUV or truck to the creek on a muddy path. Which is a good .2 miles from his house to the creek. My pups and I look forward to coming again and socializing with his dogs. Kate T.

FAQ About Vader 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.
