Great spot! Had an awesome time with the dogs, river is great for strong swimmers, and the rest is amazing too! Will definitely come back

Jesse B.

October 2023

The property was so nice, and the owner briefly came by just to say hi before moving on to his projects elsewhere. Dogs had a great time. Scenery was gorgeous

Jes M.

October 2023

Google maps takes you opposite side of Hwy, read directions once you book. Key code didn’t work for gate but managed to get around no problem. Great spot to run our reactive pup. She enjoyed many zoomies, big sticks, and new river smells! We will def be back.

Kimlee P.

November 2023

Great spot for my pups! I was worried about the lack of fencing but was not am issue. Will definitely go back

David your Sniffspot. It’s awesome! Beautiful! The “girls” loved it. Dot could have stayed for hours! Thanks for the great space. I will be a regular for sure.

Christene L.

November 2023

Awesome spot! The walking trails are nicely cleared and easy to find. Lots of new smells for my pup, who is now throughly exhausted. Highly recommend!

Susan W.

November 2023

It is our favorite spot! The drive is beautiful, and there's plenty of room to run and places to explore. I've run into someone out there chopping wood, who had his dog with him, but he put the dog in the truck. It is remote, and cannot be seen from the road, however. I take bear spray.

Jordan E.

November 2023

This is one of my favorite sniff spots! So much room for activities and felt far enough away from the road to be safe without a fence. We had a great time playing here!

Christen O.

November 2023

We loved this spot for our collie. He needed more stimulation than just a fenced in yard/park since he’s by himself, and this provides that. Lots of woods and creeks to explore, and it’s easy to find. The atmosphere is peaceful and the terrain is pretty flat so you don’t have to worry about you or your dogs when it comes to twisting an ankle. I will definitely be back!

Maggie P.

November 2023

This is our second time and loved it again! Plenty of room to run and play with natural barriers (but no fencing which was totally fine by us)!

Barbara T.

November 2023

100% dog approved :). It is like an adventure park for dogs. Joey could run like the wind, climbing up and down the river bank. We even practiced recalls and other games. Thanks David.

Karen S.

December 2023

Great place! My dogs go crazy with all the new smells, the river, and all the free space to run.

Adrienne R.

December 2023

Very unique spot! So much room to safely roam around plus access to the French Broad. My 3 heelers demand that we go back soon!

Abbey J.

December 2023

Beautiful spot and tons of open space for the dogs to run. Just far enough off the road for me not to stress about them straying too far towards it. We don’t live in the area but we would be here every week if we did!

Emily P.

December 2023

This place is awesome! Fields, forest, and a river - so much for the dogs to do and explore. Love that you can drive down into the spot and let the dogs out farther away from the main road. It felt very peaceful and private. Can’t wait to visit again!

Pam C.

December 2023

Very private and clean, plenty of room for dogs explore and get exercise. Wasn’t quite sure about property lines and did see a dump truck drive onto property.

Brooke J.

December 2023

Our dogs loved it! There’s wooded areas and open areas with lots of trees and grass. We saw birds, and no other wildlife. Also, it’s worth mentioning that we got a little muddy and the dogs too as it recently rained. It wasn’t a problem for us, but I would bring a towel if it’s recently rained. Our dogs had a great time and we will definitely be back!

Kolter S.

December 2023

The dogs had a great time. It had flooded, so we were unable to walk the acreage. Still a good time

Anna W.

December 2023

Lots of room to run around! A bit muddy after the rain so I would recommend waterproof boots and a towel! We had a great time

Shiloh B.

February 2024

This spot is awesome! The dogs loved the water and we even saw some wildlife. Will absolutely book again, especially when it is warm enough for both of them to swim. The two goons can’t wait to return!

FAQ about our Pisgah Forest dog hiking trails

Are dog hiking trails safe?

While public dog parks have a number of safety issues, such as aggressive dogs, inattentive owners, disease transmission and general cleanliness, Sniffspot dog parks are much safer than a city or county park. With a Sniffspot off-leash area all bookings are private for just you and dogs you bring with you and we require all dogs to be vaccinated (or have equivalent titers). All Sniffspot locations are vetted and reviewed by guests so you can find the perfect place for you and your dog. 93% of reviews on Sniffspot visits are 5 stars. Our hiking trails tend to be outside the city, which lends to more privacy, but it is also important to follow typical hiking safety precautions, such as potentially having trail maps.

How do I know if a dog hiking trail works for my dog?

Sniffspot provides the tools to find the ideal spot. Start by applying basic filters, such as fencing 6 feet tall and distractions, to find a dog park with trails that works for your dog.

If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our dog hiking trails where there are no dogs audible or visible nearby. Since you are looking for trails, make sure to check photos to see if it the spot has flat trails or gnarly trails. You can also browse by specific amenities, if you are looking for a view or a beach, for instance, or other activities or fun features. You can check whether the spot has off or on street parking, the regular park hours, whether it has paved trails or a modern restroom.
