Wide open space on the river, with a ton of shade. Bring your own chairs if you want to lounge. Great spot.

Make sure you read directions before going. It is easy to find once you know what to expect. This is as a really nice spot, piggie enjoyed herself immensely. Plenty of space to run and swim.

Great open space for sprints and obstacle challenges. Maple got to cool off in the river after splashing around in the mud chasing butterflies. Loved this space!

This place was SO beautiful! So spacious! We will def go back! Word to the wise if you’re coming from Asheville: it’s a 45 min drive away. So worth the drive though. My dogs had a blast

We had a blast on this large property. Plenty of trees, shade, sun, open areas, river, and beach. The beach was quite muddy, however it has been raining every day and even rained prior to us arriving that afternoon. I will definitely go back.

Megan J.
Lots of private land for our crazy Aussies to let off some steam. Great beach area for swims and plenty of room for frisbees! We look forward to our next visit.

Alex & Shelbi H.
This was a great spot for the pups! Plenty of space to explore under a shady canopy of trees. We spent our time walking the property and sitting by the river. Two kayakers passed by, which was a good training opportunity for our reactive dog (soon to be best good girl). We loved that we were minutes from the Pisgah Ranger District. It would be a great spot to stop and let your dog burn off some energy before taking to the trails.
Dogs loved it!

This was a great spot for our pups! There is alot of space to explore under a shady canopy of trees. We spent our time walking around the property and sitting by the river. Two kayakers passed by, which was a great training opportunity for our reactive (soon to be best good girl). We loved how close it was to the Pisgah Ranger District. It would be a great spot to take your dogs to burn off some energy before hitting the trails!

Beautifully maintained and lovely spot to access the river. Detailed instructions to access the property + signage. Dogs + kitty had a blast! It was almost 90 degrees when we visited, but we were able to stay cool with all the shade and the river. Will definitely return! ????

Harry R.
A huge, clean expanse of Green space. Nicely shaded on a hot day. Unfenced but boardered by riverfront and dense vegetation on most sides so dog is easily contained. Great time.

Kadie N.
We thoroughly enjoyed our visit! The dogs both got muddy and loved every single minute of it. One of my dogs can be reactive, and I felt very secure with the river and woods around us. (Mine don’t really wander too far from me though.) If you’ve seen this spot and disregarded it because it’s not fenced, I recommend bringing a long lead to check it out. We really had a nice time. It was an easy drive from AVL. We brought a picnic, a blanket, and towels for the dogs to clean them up before heading out. We look forward to hanging out here again! As to be expected there were some gnats (not bad) so bring bug spray if you need it. Would be a great spot to read a book in a hammock.

Great host loved this spot. Very secluded with plenty of room for dogs to run and play. Would recommend water shoes and to Bring a towel if your dog loves the water. Loved it!

Penelope W.
We had a good visit. My dog swam and galloped around. Steep river banks but there is one place that is great for dogs to get in and out. Very quiet and peaceful.

Fun spot for the dogs to run. They loved fetching sticks and swimming in the river. There was some mud, but nothing a good bath couldn't fix!

Karen P.
Our pups had a great time running, chasing balls, and splashing in the water! We saw a few deer when we first arrived, but other than that it was very private. Thanks for opening up your spot to our pups!

eliana S.
So perfect for my reactive dog and he gets access to the river. There’s something so wonderful about watching him explore without any triggers. We use a 30 ft leash since it’s not fenced in and it works perfectly. Thankful for this space

Elizabeth G.
Lovely spot by the river with plenty of room to run a play. A distance from the road.
