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.

Pelham Mill Dog Park reviews

What visitors consistently say
The highlights

The 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.

The community

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.

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.
