55Gorgeous land! My girls had an amazing time being off leash and having all the space to themselves. The river was beautiful and clear blue 😍. Will def return again this summer to swim
Note: it’s best to have an all wheel drive type of car as it’s a rugged drive in but also adds to the adventure Mellisa P.

55We brought our 3 year old mini Aussie who LOVES to swim…let’s just say it was 2 hours of nonstop water play for sure! Every time I thought he needed a break he’d jump right back in and swim his little heart out. The water is cold so it’s super nice on a hot, sunny day. Even fun for us parents to skip rocks and walk around everywhere. We all loved this little adventure!!Savannah S.

55Your dog wants to go here, trust me on this! And why wouldn't they? It's got a limitless supply of sticks to fetch, a beautiful creek for splashing, plenty of room for running and zoomies, and a nice private road with all the good sniffs which is perfect for a walk.
It's not a bad place for the humans either, bring a camp chair and a book and relax by the creek while the dogs splash and sniff. We took advantage of the overnight camping option so we could have plenty of relaxing time by the creek. Camping is primitive, but a great spot. Just bring everything you need.
The host is super kind and friendly, and takes extra care to make sure the pups have fun.
As an owner of a reactive dog, I also appreciated that the host seemed knowledgeable about reactive dogs and was very accommodating.
Pros: all the above!
Cons: wet, tired dog. is that really a con though? Ticks are prevalent...check yourself and your dog!

55Wow!! Such a beautiful property! The host was kind enough to help us find the property when we went a little too far and guided us through the property once we arrived. The driveway up definitely requires a lifted vehicle that can handle a bit of terrain, but there’s also spots to pull off/park and then walk the rest of the way if you’re more comfortable with that!
The creek was beautiful and the dogs had an absolute blast splashing around and exploring. There were lots of shallow spots for the not so strong swimmers too. With it being so far from the main road, I felt extra safe letting one of the dogs run off leash! This is definitely the kind of place you’re going to want to book for several hours. From playing in the creek to exploring the woods, there’s so much for the pups to do! Bring a picnic and spend the day, that’s definitely what we’ll do next time. Priscilla D.

55Literally the most beautiful peaceful place I have ever experienced. I can not put in to words with how thankful I am for Danielle and her family to share a little piece of heaven with us for the day. Our dogs had the time of their lives playing in the water for hours! Endless sticks to carry, rocks to climb on and jump off of, trails to run down/up! Water is cold, weather was perfect, nice and shaded. The creek is so clean you can see right through it everywhere you look. I recommend bringing water shoes so you can enjoy it without worrying about your feet :) We traveled all the way from Central Florida specifically to check this spot out and it was WORTH it! The host is the sweetest woman I have ever met. She was so accommodating and helpful. My son was telling everyone back home how kind she was to us and how beautiful her property is. I have a very low hybrid car and she had a perfect spot near the front that I could park. She drove us back to the main spot and then we walked back at the end. The walk is amazing!! It is an easy walk but if you want something a little more difficult there are little trail loops that go up hill that you can take :) Breathtaking view of the creek the entire way! If you live in CA, NY, Texas, ANYWHERE… I promise you no matter how far away you are the trip here will be totally worth it to spend the day(s) with your pups here. We will definitely be back and we will spend more time here. Our dogs are border collies (high energy) and they were so tuckered that they took a nap with my son in the middle of the creek on a big rock :) I could not have picked anywhere better to spend the day on my Birthday. My heart is full, my dogs and son are happy and sleepy 🩷 Thank you Danielle and family! Breanna C.

Danielle is absolutely wonderful and made everything so easy. The property is beyond words. 100000/10. It is so rare to find places to be alone in nature and be in the moment. We camped overnight and it was great!! Really really special place! We will absolutely be backKathryn K.

FAQ about our Dunlap 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. 93% of reviews on Sniffspot visits in the Dunlap 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 115 fully fenced dog parks in the area. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our 8 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.
