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.

55We always enjoy going to this spot. This past weekend, we noticed that there are more signs asking folks to respect the property otherwise it'll be shut down. If you visit this sniffspot, please take care of it... Our reactive dogs need a space like this one. Reo F.

55Always fun here! The host has put up helpful signs & sawhorse barricades on the worst of the wet turf- these unseasonably warm temps have made most outdoor spaces very squishy! The dogs were unphased & enjoyed romping through brush & slush alike. Libby B.

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 194 fully fenced dog parks in the area. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our 21 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.
Sniffspot has 194 fully fenced dog parks in or near Ham Lake. Browse all fully enclosed options.
