Had a great time. Loved access to river. Elsie loves to swim. Safe off highway and plenty of running room. Also has a small picnic type area set up. |

My dogs loved playing in the water and all the space to run around! Very nicely maintained with no trash or litter around. |

What a great property! So much space to explore and run. My dog had the best time. He loved swimming in the river. Bring a towel or two if you plan on letting your pup swim. We got pretty muddy but it was a blast! Easy to find and host was a great communicator. Will return. |

This spot is so great! Tons of space and the river access is perfect. Enzo had the best time and this will be a regular place for us now! We did see a couple of people doing some kind of work on the land but they stayed far away and my dog is VERY reactive to people and wasn’t bothered by it at all. |

This was a great spot. My dog is reactive towards other dogs, so she loved having this much outdoor space to herself. We brought a super long leash to test out how she would do with more freedom, and then after we realized she stayed close, we were comfortable letting her explore off leash. She absolutely loved running around, playing Frisbee and fetch, and putting her paws in the river. We would definitely love to take her here again. No other dogs or people while we were there. |

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! |

Nice river access in a flat, quiet lot. I bet it’s even prettier in spring. |

Plenty of space, swimming opportunities- always enjoy bringing my dogs here |

Great spot. Bring a towel for the dogs if they like getting in the water. |
 Lindsey B.

Nice spot. Just as described. Would definitely use again. |

Such a great spot! Plenty of space to roam and a river to swim in. We will be back! |
 Anna W.

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 |
|

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

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! |

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. |

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! |

My dogs love it out here! Lots of places to run. |
 Abbey J.
|
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! |
 Chelsea M.
|
Great spot! My dog loved sniffing, running, and getting in the water! |
 Adrienne R.
|
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! |
 Karen S.
|
Great place! My dogs go crazy with all the new smells, the river, and all the free space to run. |
 Kate C.

Second visit and still love it. Will come back again! |

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. |
 Maggie P.
|
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)! |
 Christen O.
|
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! |
 Jordan E.
|
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! |
|

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. |
 Christene L.
|
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! |

Kate C.

Absolutely loved it! The mix of trails, wooded field and water was perfect! |

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. |

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

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. |

Great spot! |

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 |

Gorgeous property. Clean and peaceful. Dogs had a great time. |

Awesome place!! Was a little hard to find. GPS (apple) took us to the gas station about 1/2 a mile past it so we had to just do our best to figure where the pin actually way on the map. But it was totally worth it! Awesome place to get into the River, lots of area for the pups to run and play. We will defiantly be back! |
 Jenny G.
|
What a beautiful and quiet spot. It was perfect for my dog. He had a great time swimming, chewing sticks and exploring the area. We will definitely be back. As others have said- it is muddy just right beside the river and there may be mosquitos around, so just prepare! |
 Jessica T.
|
Such a great spot! Incredibly peaceful meadowy area with creek access. It was a big hit with both our dogs. I only booked it for 1.5 hrs but you can definitely enjoy a longer stay. Will definitely be coming back if I’m in the area. |

Lots of space to explore! |

An excellent spot for dogs and people with great water access and ample clear ground for the dogs to run and play. A flatbed work truck did drive briefly onto the site while we were there, but didn't stick around. I think they were lost lol The entrance is a bit tricky to spot from the road, which is a highway. I'll post photos that should help. |
 Alyssa C.

Love this spot! So quiet and has a lot of space! It was so nice to let my pup swim and stick my feet in the mud! Will be back, Thank you! |

I want to preface my review with this spot was not for us but that does not make it a bad spot for everyone. We weren't big fans of the area outside of the main area as it was overgrown and we feared ticks and snakes. And the water access was limited from what we found. Plus, the water at the access we found was not moving and brown. Not ideal, in our opinion for playing in the water. However, there was a large area cleared for throwing a frisbee or tossing a ball to your dog, which we did. Again, this may be the perfect spot for someone else. |

This place was great ! Although if you use just the regular maps on your phone it will take you to the marathon gas station so just use google maps ! |
