55Our pup thoroughly enjoyed this spot! Wooded trail, make sure to wear appropriate shoes/clothing. The creek crossing was fun for our dog ❤️ beautiful property. We could hear barking dogs (never saw or encountered any) so if you have a dog that is triggered by that, just make a note. Emily C.

55Our dogs had a blast and loved playing in the creek! After reading other reviews, we wore shoes that could get wet and had no issues at all. We did hear a dog barking in the distance but it wasn’t in sight and our dogs weren’t phased by it. Would definitely go again!Jamie Lynn W.

55This is a beautiful trail along a small creek that backs up to Jordan Lake. Pay close attention to the trail markers that are a little bit difficult to see at first. My pups loved this spot!Kelly G.

55Great wooded area with a creek for our dog to explore. The trail markers are super cute multi-color blocks. Was a bit of a scavenger hunt to find them at a couple points after crossing the creek, but that added to the fun. Cortney B.

55Our dog had SUCH a blast at this location! We just recently adopted him, and have never "tested" him off leash - this was the perfect place to do so. The trail/woods themselves were clean, well kept, and marked! Sarah P.

55Our dog love adventuring these trails. Lots of things to smell and plenty of room for her to run. She especially loved the water areas. The rainbow markers were easy to follow. Austin Y.

55My deaf and reactive dog loved it! He got to have an adventure without anxiety of running into other dogs. There was plenty of shade and even some shallow water to splash in to stay cool. We plan on visiting again in the future!Brittney C.

55We had a great visit! Super quiet and peaceful. We had no problems finding the spot, some of the signage was a little confusing so we got lost along the trail. But the creek was awesome and our dog really enjoyed herself. Natalia P.

55Great spot, nice and flat and fully fenced, owner gave good directions to help locate and enter the yard! My dog had a great time! Only concern is there are some deep holes in the yard that I would worry about my pup stepping into while running Sarah J.

55My energetic pup loves here. She checked every plants in the field and sniffed a lot. It's fully fenced and no distractions nearby.
Some holes (not bad) on the ground but they're pretty obvious. So mind your steps when you play with your pup. Yan Z.

FAQ about our Apex 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.
Are dog parks safe?
While public dog parks have a number of safety issues, such as aggressive dogs, disease transmission and general cleanliness, Sniffspot dog parks much safer than public dog parks. With Sniffspot 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. 96% of reviews on Sniffspot visits in the Apex area are 5 stars.
How do I know if a dog park works for my dog?
You can filter Sniffspot dog parks by fencing and distractions. If your dog doesn't have good recall, you can visit one of our 203 fully fenced dog parks in the area. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our 33 off leash areas where there are no dogs audible or visible nearby. You can also filter locations to avoid other domestic animals and people. We also recommend reading reviews and reaching out to the host with any questions.
