55Absolutely beautiful! We had a great time with our two labs. They swam less than expected because they were both too busy trying to catch the little fish swimming around us. The beach was immaculate and just a short walk away from the parking area. We will definitely be back!Justine C.

55Beautiful lakefront, the water was perfect and clear and very private for our 2 easily distracted dogs. Our 3 year old Woody swam for the first time! Needless to say, he's addicted now and we'll be back.Erick B.

55We drive 2 hours just to come back and visit this spot! Leigh is so thoughtful and kind. We always know we will have a great time. My dog loves sniffing around in the woods and rocks and splashing in the water. He can't swim but he still absolutely loves to come here (and the humans have a great time too)Kathryn K.

55We had such a fun time swimming at this little beach! The lake was stunning and the owners were very nice and helpful throughout the whole experience. Toys, bags, water, a hose for rinsing, and just about anything else you need for a great day was provided! Can’t recommend enough!Ivey W.

55This was our first ever Sniffspot and I could not be happier with our experience. The host is so so kind, communicative, and generous. The area was so nice, super clean, and she even left us some toys, poop bags, and some tools to clean off the dogs after. I can’t recommend this place enough!! We will 100000% be back again. We also had a scenic route which was stunning and the little lakeview where we were was sooo gorgeous. Aurora and Paisley had the best time! This was our first time at the lake and the first time for the dogs so we definitely made some core memories here!Marilize C.

55Absolutely loved it!! After entering the neighborhood, the road you turn on is narrow & gravel, but it’s the right way! The host was very kind & also set out some things for us & our pup. The water was high the day we went so the beach disappeared a bit, but it didn’t change the beautiful scenery! My pup had the greatest time & so did we. Would love to come back! Sarah M.

55I’m not sure I was on the right side of the property but Olivia had a great time! Such a nice way to let the dog access the lake and just swim. We will be back.Barb C.

55This spot is PHENOMENAL! The lake is beautiful and you are tucked away and have a little beach area all to yourself. The host is very kind, thoughtful and communicative. We had an absolute blast. There's space to explore in the woods and a beach area with sand and rocks. Kathryn K.

55As a host, Leigh was generous and clearly communicated about all aspects of our visit. The play area was pristine and everything you’d expect it to be, as a beautiful private beach on Lake Keowee. Leah C.

55What an incredibly beautiful and peaceful spot. The dogs were absolutely delighted to have a beach area to swim and run in. They had a superb time, and Leigh was a gracious and wonderful host - the directions were clear, and I loved the welcome note. <3Candice 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. 6% of reviews on Sniffspot visits in the Salem 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 133 fully fenced dog parks in the area. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our 283 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.
