Rent safe and private dog water parks and swimming pools hosted by locals in Shelbyville, Kentucky

Carter’s Private Dog Park allows dogs to explore the trails and creeks in the woods area, walk the 1/2 mile gravel driveway, play in acres of grass fields, and enjoy the obstacles set up for our sister horse obstacle course (Alliance Equine Obstacle Course) where all are located on a private, gated (BUT not fenced) 36 plus acre farm. You will need to keep dogs leashed to stay on the farm property and not roam onto neighbors land. Please note horses and cats are also on site. Additional fully fenced field (appx 1/2 acre) can be added as an extra where your dog can be off leash. Please pick up after your pet at all times and areas. Water is available for drinking for dogs from a hose near the parking area (bring own bowls) or creeks (at times) in the woods. Outdoor Bath area (not heated) is an extra if planning to have your dog swim in the pond and wash before leaving. Owners must bring own dog shampoo and towels.

Enjoy almost 23 acres of secluded trails and a pond! There are several trails you are welcome to explore, however, only the main trail to the pond is marked with signs. Parking is in the grass field to left of the house (if you are facing the house). There is no drive, you pull into the field, drive to the back of the field, and park. You are welcome to play in the field but the trails and pond are the main attractions. It's about a 1/4 mi to the pond. The trails are hilly.

Beautiful 5 acres fully fenced, with pond. Dogs absolutely love running around the property and can even take a dip in the pond on hot days. We provide water bowls, chairs, hose, balls, dog toys, and some towels.

Wide open space for your animal to run. Your dog can enjoy a dip in the pond and sniff all the new smells. You can relax in the hammock and enjoy the fresh air!

This spot should definitely stimulate all of your dogs' senses. Whether it's meandering along the zigzagged path through the grown up pasture, walking back along the wooded path, exploring the nooks and crannies of the rocks, going in for a cool swim, or walking down to the mostly dry creekbed and climbing on some boulders, or just relaxing under the Pavillion and taking in the beautiful view, you are both assured an enjoyable time. There are partial stairs going down to the lake. As it is now, it is more user-friendly for younger dogs, although my two 12 year old dogs can still climb down to the water. We are working on getting stairs or a ramp all the way down. You will have to step down some rocks to get to the water, but the rocks are like tiered steps, so it isn't that bad. The lake rises and falls throughout the year, so the distance can vary, but it is still fairly close. This spot is in a no wake zone, so it is quiet and calm for swimming.

Lots of down trees, things to smell and horses roam here. Big open pastures. The fence has been damaged by the storm so the horses get through. This will be fixed by spring. They have been friendly so far. We may have carrots in the fridge for them. Beware of their droppings and don’t worry about what your dog leaves, although there is a trash can on the driveway. Everything for the people-tables, chairs etc is scattered around. Feel free to go on the porch! Pool opens in summer. Dog bowls and kiddie pool-there is a spigot on the house close to the driveway. (Around toward the front from the back porch)

Welcome to our little piece of heaven. We enjoy our land and our dogs so much we want others to as well, so we opened it to sniff spot. Our area is a total of 17 acres with a creek that runs a quarter of the way throughout the perimeter. This is a large piece of property and is close to a busy road so some dogs so require some sort of long leash or rope for the dogs that do not have a strong recall. A portion of the land is mowed for a shorter terrain for ease of mobility. Trails are available to utilize as well as more are being cut at current time to travel throughout property. Half the property is left natural for a refuge for the wildlife. The natural areas have areas where there is tall grass areas. Thick brush, and uneven ground. Please consider your self and your animal’s physical health when hiking through property. There is a creek on both sides of the driveway and trails on both sides of the driveway as well . Feel free to get down in the creek and look for arrow heads, crawfish or cool shaped creek rocks. Walk the creek or the trails or let them stretch out across the field, play ball or frisbee there is plenty of room to run and stretch you furry baby’s legs. When visiting in spring it is highly recommended to wear bug spray for the flys and ticks as that’s a very heavy season and is recommended. Future accommodations coming : fenced 60x60 area dog play area with obstacles and sitting area, more trails and sitting areas along creek side. We welcome you to our little piece of heaven we sure hope you enjoy this peaceful place as much as we do. We are always welcome to suggestions to improve and/or grow feel free to contact me for any reason. Thank you

Welcome to our dog run. With lots of space to roam, you’ll love this peaceful spot inside New Circle just south of Alumni. A lovely patio for the humans to relax on, tons of space for the 4 legged kids to roam. A pond, geese to chase, and when it’s warm, a baby pool, sprinkler and tennis balls galore. A hose is available for clean up, play, and drinks. We ask you leave the space as you found it, turn off the water, pick up your poo and put chairs as you found them. You get bonus points for letting your pup chase the geese! You are responsible for your dog’s behavior. Your dog must be up to date on their immunizations & flea control. Dogs must be on a leash when entering and leaving. Feel free to leave suggestions in the box.
