We live on 15 acres, and now have 1.5 acres fully fenced! It is all very flat land making for an easy stroll with your dogs. We are boarded on two edges by farm fields and two edges by neighbors. There is a trail that circles the property, with plenty of space to explore. During the summer, please take advantage of the small kiddie pool. There are also toys and chairs in the fenced area for all guests. Some seasonal things to keep in mind: Spring/fall when we have heavy rain, some areas could have standing water and/or be muddy. Mid to late summer, there are fox tails (cheat grass) that can cling to your dogs. Winter, the trails might not be plowed. There will be a 5gal bucket in the wood shed (inside the fenced area) full of water you can use to refill the two water bowls. Keep an eye out for trip hazards! Logs, sticks, uneven ground and holes.

Ray's Private Dog Park In Edwall

Partially Fenced

50 acres

The 50 acres is mostly timber, with a 7 acre pond that has water in it most of the year. It will dry up on really hot years. I do have chickens and pack goats by the house. But they are inside mesh fencing, so your dogs won’t be able to get to them. The 50 acres is completely fenced with a 3 to 5 strand Barbwire fence. It’s in good shape. It is also the property boundary. So as long as you stay inside of the fence, you will be on the property. There are not a lot of neighbors but the ones I have are nice. When you come up the driveway, you can pass the house and drive up on the hill and Park at the conex container. There is lots of wildlife on the property, and I highly recommend that your dog has some sort of tick repellent, we do have ticks in the spring time. The upper part of the driveway is not graveled, so if there’s melting snow, or a lot of ran, it can get muddy. So be prepared for that. I hope you enjoy the property as much as we do. ***ALL PRICES LISTED ARE IN USD***

Fabulous spot with many additions (balls, poop bags, tables & chairs under an awning) showing how thoughtful the hosts are. The play area is accessible through a lovely little trail. The directions were easy to follow and everything was well marked. Thank you for a fabulous visit.

Serene, beautiful, restorative. Always impeccably clean, well cared for and beautifully maintained. Book more than an hour….this is a large property…

Stellar spot as always! We actually booked it today as neutral ground to introduce my fear reactive dog to some friends dogs who came to town. It was a great spot to do neutral walks and help them build confidence around each other. Even though it was a warm day there was sufficient shade and the pond was a fun splash zone for our dogs.

Very thankful and blessed that Black Pond Farm created this Sniffspot. It's a beautiful place to get away from it all and exercise your doggie!

Absolutely wonderful spot! The signage was super helpful in pointing us in the right direction. Beau is 8 months so still working on off leash recall and this was a perfect spot to do it. Was a huge fan of Club Zoomies and definitely had fun in the water! Will definitely be booking more time for our next visit!

We had an amazing experience! Everything was very well marked and easy to follow. The trail was well maintained and our dogs loved the grassy area to run and play in. So much so that one of them came back with green on their head from rolling around so much! Can’t wait to come back.

Perfect spot for a warm sunny day! There’s plenty of shade and lots to sniff. We had a great time.

It was our first time, place was easy to find, well marked, easy parking area. We also had our 2 year old so we (slowly) wandered the main trail and a bit of the equestrian trail. My dogs had a great time, swam in the pond near the field and explored. It was nice most of the place is shaded on a hot day! Quite a few mosquitoes because of the water, but the host graciously placed bug spray around the property! Also a nice touch to have towels for those who may have forgotten their own. We will be back for sure!

Everything about Black Pond Farm is so wonderful. It’s a peaceful oasis that we are so grateful to able to visit. The forested trails are clearly marked and beautifully maintained, there are two ponds that doggos can enjoy, and OMD Club Zoomies is such a perfect place for lunch, ball play and grass rolls. We can’t wait to come back for a visit!

It was wonderful being able to let the dogs roam around freely and safely. The hosts offer water on the sniff spot that you’re able to fill up with tons of wonderful picture spots 🥰 I will definitely be back again

This was a great place! It was huge and my dogs had so much fun running around!Tim and Brenda were super nice and notified us of any potential dangers and pointers on the land!

There is a lovely trail up to the Zoomie area. I took my dogs on the Forbidden Trail which is public land. It’s also a lovely trail but not private! I got confused about the boundary but Tim responded quickly and set me straight!!🤩

Great spot! They go above and beyond to make sure your dogs have everything they need to have a great time. Will return.

Kristine M.

Great space thoughtfully designed for all types of dog needs. One of our dogs is anxious/fearful of other dogs and strangers, having postings where the public land started and that we may see other people was super helpful

Another fabulous visit to Black Pond, as always! Our retriever, Juno, loves doing water retrieves in the pond. I made her pause her swimming long enough to take a photo in front of the bright red rhodie bush near the pond. We would visit more often if it was just a bit closer to our home.
