55Great yard! Plenty of room for a dog to run and explore between the two fenced yards and particularly enjoyed having a woodsy space to explore. Neighborhood was very quiet and peaceful. Had a question about the space during our visit and Jena was very quick to reply. My dog had fun!Melissa A.

55The space was great. Or dog is very reactive but had a great time running around the yard and wasn't even bothered by the dog and kids a couple houses away. There's plenty of space and the neighborhood is quiet. Wish we had boots for the dog as her feet started getting cold and ice covered in the snow (after trying to lick/bite the snow from between her toes ). But that was definitely our fault. We didn't get a chance to explore the wooded area in the back so we will definitely be back! Kathy E.

55Good sized yard and woodland for exploring. It is near a busy road so reactive dogs will have either a distraction or a training opportunity. I do hope they put up a full fence on the woodland--that would be great! Lisa P.

55This spot sets a sniff spot standard that is hard to match. Not only is it a fully fenced three acres, it’s peaceful, clean, has space to chase balls but also lots of trees and trails to explore and it has all the amenities including human seating.Susan C.

55What a treat of a spot. There are winding paths between little groves of trees to explore and plenty of straight paths for dogs to run their hearts out. The host has seating, water, toys, tick/bug spray, and bowls for their guests. The fence is secure and is about 4-5ft high. Both my dog and I had a great time and can't wait to come back! Sharon S.

55Had a wonderful time again! This spot is one of the most welcoming, with thoughtful extras like bug spray, water for the dogs, poop bags, toys, and seating for humans. Well maintained field has plenty of nooks & crannies for dogs to sniff & play tag in. I love the variety of plant-life and the quiet zen of this outdoor space. Easy to find & a modest drive from downtown Mpls- always worth the trip! The dogs had a blast & the ride home was SILENT. ❤️👏Libby B.

55This was my favorite Sniffspot!!! The host provided detailed instructions for parking, entry into the spot and the space is very accurately described. Fencing is secure, you, water, bug spray, poop bags and more were all provided and easily accessible. There is seating and a screened tent for humans. All gates are secured with a carabiner lock for those sneaky dogs that can open latches! Jennifer H.

55This was our first visit to a Sniffspot and we could not have been more satisfied! Mowed paths surrounded by clumps of trees and shrubs provided interesting sniffs and plenty of open running space. One of our dogs had never been able to run full out and it made us all happy to watch him dashing around. He smiled the whole way home! So did we! Kris U.

FAQ about our Ham Lake 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. 96% of reviews on Sniffspot visits in the Ham Lake 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 213 fully fenced dog parks in the area. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our 24 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.
