55This is a wonderful hilly spot with lots of room to let your dog(s) run and play. And to get some exercise yourself if you like to hike up to their beautiful viewpoint, equipped with two Adirondack chairs! There’s a rather muddy water hole in the dip just beyond the parking area, but a clear stream further on which you could use to clean up before heading home. We will definitely be back!!Jane W.

55Our first time at a Sniffspot and it was great. Excellent directions from the host, a mowed lane around the perimeter and long grass in the center that the dogs loved running through. The creek was shallow and safe for our big dogs. I will absolutely go back.Marilyn F.

55Wonderful sniffspot! Quiet, lots of nature to walk in & beautiful view up-top. Also a wonderful shady area in the trees for playing or sitting on hot days. This location is perfect for my nervous dog. Highly recommend this sniffspot! Amy S.

55We had a fantastic time at this Sniffspot. We are training our German shepherd and pitbull to be off leash/ recalls etc and this was a great opportunity to do so in a semi-controlled way. Everything you might need is provided. Poop bags, balls, frisbees, water, towels, etc. Sally is a very thoughtful host. We will definitely be back very soon :) Sara B.

55My dogs and I love this place! It’s our little sanctuary. We go at least 3 times a week!! I have rescue dogs who are people/dog reactive so off leash in public isn’t an option. This sniff spot allows me to enjoy my dogs w/o worrying about other people/dogs. I have shepherds who don’t climb and are well behaved (for the most part) so the fencing and blackberry bushes do a great job of containing them safely. The price for 2 dogs is also really affordable. Lisa D.

55Our pups had a great time exploring. It’s a beautiful place to enjoy your morning coffee while your pups get their wiggles out for the day. Thanks for sharing this beautiful property with us. We’ll be back but with towels next time. Our pups found the creek right when we were leaving. ☺️Mairin B.

FAQ About Salem 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. 0% of reviews on Sniffspot visits in the Salem area are 5 stars.
