Pelham Mill Dog Park
Fenced yards above the Enoree River falls, open 24/7
About this park
A quiet two-yard fenced dog park set into the grounds of an 1820 cotton mill ruin on the Enoree River. Gates stay unlocked around the clock, the small and large runs are clearly separated, and the river, falls, and dam overlook are a short walk from the dog yards.

What visitors say
Synthesized from 237 Google reviewsThe dog yards themselves get consistent praise for staying uncrowded: even weekend afternoons often mean only a handful of dogs. The riverside setting, waterfall view, and historic stonework make it feel less utilitarian than a typical suburban fenced lot.
A low-volume crowd of neighborhood regulars, with long off-hours when the yards sit empty. Visitors passing through for the mill ruins and waterfall add a trickle of foot traffic.
Best for
Before you go
The walking trail around the mill ruins is narrow and shady but often overgrown, so stick to the dog yards if the brush hasn't been cleared recently. Handicap parking is near the road and the fenced yards are up a short hill from the lot.
