55Excellent place for dogs to run, play in the water, chase the ball, etc. Looks like there was a lot of damage from Helene, but it’s been cleaned up pretty well. I imagine that it was a gorgeous spot before Mother Nature rearranged it. Please pay attention to David’s advice about the directions: Applemaps won’t get you there.
55 Wonderful
55We had a great time! Perfect spot for our pups to sniff and explore
45Our dogs loved playing in the river! The current was pretty strong so I’d only let your dog swim out if they are good swimmers. There was some metal debris around the area that made me a little nervous but overall it was a great first sniffspot experience!
55Love this spot! Even with the flooding the owner took care of the land so it’s level again. Highly recommend this spot. The Only downside is that It can be buggy.
55This was a great place. Our doggie went for a swim, had a picnic, and was able to run free without worries. Thankful for this spot.
55Tons of space to run around, right on the water. Poppy and Sage loved their time here.
55Lovely spot!
55This was our first time at this particular Sniffspot of hers. Just like all the others, it’s a five out of five! Our dogs loved it, my little dog got to play on the agility course which he loved! Now we’re thinking about getting him into agility. Thanks so much, Elizabeth!
35It was great that is a big piece of land we can use & had the river but only a portion was accessible & to get to the river was very muddy to get to it.

Sometimes

The neighbor has a right of way to get to their field they may drive across, however they only come up a handful of times a year so they aren't likely to be there. Around once a week there may be people mowing/weedeating/etc. as well. (usually not on weekends but can't 100% guarantee that.)

Cleanliness

Hazards

It is the woods so there is wildlife. I've never seen anything dangerous but there are deer, turkeys, etc. sometimes. The river may be too fast moving for small dogs. This spot has a water feature, make sure to review these guidelines for visiting spots with water before visiting: https://help.sniffspot.com/article/167-how-to-keep-your-dog-safe-around-pools-and-water

#3 Fun field for a furry frenzy 3- Field of Dreams in Fletcher

11/23- We are back open! The field is ready and the trail to the beach has been cleared. I have been working hard to get this site running again for everyone to enjoy. Please realise the businesses around this park are still cleaning up. There is a security guard patrolling the area and keeping an eye on the buildings and my park. They are nice people and have my number if needed. Please enjoy the park again but be gentle in the area. 11/19- The site has been mowed and my dogs have spent several hours there at different times without illness or issue. We are hoping to open by the end of this coming weekend. 11/13 the fencing has been repaired, the gazebo is back in place and my dogs have been out there visiting without issue. We will be cutting the trail to the beach in the next two weeks then we will be ready to open. 9/28- heavy damage due to flooding. Closed until I can rebuild. Sites 1, 2, and 4 are open for your pups and your continued patronage would be a great help to me and this site. Access is possible to those sites. Thank you for your understanding. Have you ever wanted to run your dog on three football sized flat fields? This is your chance. Located behind UPM Raflatac in the cane creek industrial park this huge spot is the third one we have built. It’s been designed for complete privacy for you and your pets. No drive by traffic no people walking by, just you and your kids on 4 flat acres. It’s perfect for all ages of dogs and their humans because of the terrain! If you are up for an adventure, we have cut in a small trail to access Cane Creek. It is part of the same property but is NOT fenced in any way. If your pup enjoy off or on leash hikes, then feel free. The trail is outside the fenceing look for the silver gate across from the Gazbo. It is an out and back path with two small hills about a 3-5min walk in the woods. This area is not fenced. A picnic table, gazebo with swing, hammock and umbrella, are located here for lots of seating and shelter. Some toys are provided and even a game of horse shoes for humans! I think a Remote Control car or a drone, a mountain bike might be really fun to bring or even a Remote Control plane. This spot is actually part of the old Fletcher airport. All I want in life is to help people to have balanced dogs in their lives! Enjoy!
