55What an incredible place! So peaceful! We were on a long road trip down I-5, and this was the perfect place to let our dog run and play! We’ll be back when passing through again.Katie C.

55We absolutely adore this location! It’s such a peaceful, beautiful property. Our border collie loved exploring and playing some frisbee. The mowed paths are very helpful too but also allowed him to have a lot of fun bouncing through the taller grass. Jessica B.

55Easily accessible, private and gorgeous scenery. There were toys and water available for the dogs which I love. I personally took our own bowls and toys, but it was nice to have in case we didn’t! There were quite a few foxtails, so we had to comb through the dogs for them afterwards. Amazing spot, very easy and affordable. Definitely recommend and will return! :) Shelby B.

55I love this Sniffspot so much. It allows me the space to get my reactive dog out into a space where I can work with him on behaviors and allow him to run to his hearts content.
The last few visits I have been very disappointed to observe dog poop piles that are not picked up. Today was no exception. If you are visiting a Sniffspot, please come prepared, it is YOUR responsibility to clean up after your pets, this means bringing extra potty bags, paying attention to your dog AT ALL TIMES. Today, I could not believe that someone left behind not one, but 2 piles, and directly across from the trash receptables.... Come on folks!! This is a common courtesy, I don't care that it's a field. Yes, raccoons can leave behind their excrement, they live there, and we have observed that scat and I expect it.
Consider how this continued behavior can lead to Hosts closing their Sniffspot due to a lack of care and respect to their property. The same goes for smoking, and your snack wrappers. This is not your property. Please be considerate. Margie T.

55Our dogs had a wonderful time exploring and sniffing everything!! Next time we need to book an hour so we can explore further and make it to the creek - I know our dogs would absolutely love it and we are looking forward to coming back soon! Lori C.

55We drive down from Portland to visit this bucket list spot and it was well worth it! Both of my girls had a blast and the property is beautiful. I was a little worried my dogs would get a little too excited about the chickens and goats but there is enough property that we were able to avoid their enclosure all together. We heard a dog barking across the street as we were leaving (not an issue for us but just a warning for others) but other than that, it was very peaceful with the only sound being birds singing. We will definitely be back!Whitney G.

55Such a beautiful piece of land and my dog loved it! So many places for her to sniff and run around. We were able to hike to the top and back down a couple of times within the hour and she always found new places to sniff. I will definitely be back again soon!Danielle K.

55Loved the acreage - I primarily came here with the dog for an open field hike (the grass / grounds are uneven and a lot of hills). To play fetch, there is a shaded area that’s pretty flat & cool that we chilled for awhile. The view from top was stunning. Christine J.

55Great to have this space close to me! We didn't get much past the first open area because my dogs aren't into exploring as much as chasing balls for hours. Water was provided, as well as waste bags and toys. I was slightly concerned about the space being unfenced because we don't have distraction-tested recall, but we didn't encounter any issues.

55The road to the spot is gravel and curvy and I would definitely recommend wearing boots or tall socks. But the views were beautiful and our pup had a great time! We'll definitely be coming back! Colleen K.

55Today my dogs wanted to explore more, so we went up to the top of the hill. The view is just beautiful. I felt relaxed and calm, while the dogs chased balls across the field. I suggest taking water just in case, as there was very little left for us at 10 am. Fortunately, we live close enough that it wasn't an issue.
Please be vigilant about cleaning up after your dogs at all Sniffspots-there really is no excuse. Shannon R.

55Nice spot. Close to Salem for a quick stop to tire the dogs out. I couldn't quite tell where the boundaries were. I'd recommend maybe putting a Google maps of the border on the entry pics. There's a cool spot in the tree stand. The tomatoes are absolutely delicious so take a couple extra bucks. Carey Z.

55We had such an amazing time at this Sniffspot! The property was absolutely beautiful, with wide open fields for our dog to let loose with his zoomies, plus a peaceful, tree-filled area for exploring. We asked the host ahead of time if we could bring our kitty along, and she was incredibly sweet and said yes without hesitation. Our cat loved the adventure too! It was the perfect, private getaway for both of our pets to enjoy. We can’t wait to come back!Ben C.

55We visited for the first time today and will definitely book again. Fantastic location and our girls had so much space to run and let loose. Great place for dogs to explore. Sally is a super hostess with readily available water, toys and poop bins. There are in inclines to walk, but chairs set up for quick breaks. Gorgeous views at the top. All around great experience.

FAQ about our Salem dog hiking trails
Are dog hiking trails safe?
While public dog parks have a number of safety issues, such as aggressive dogs, inattentive owners, disease transmission and general cleanliness, Sniffspot dog parks are much safer than a city or county park.

All Sniffspot locations are vetted and reviewed by guests so you can find the perfect place for you and your dog. 93% of reviews on Sniffspot visits are 5 stars. Our hiking trails tend to be outside the city, which lends to more privacy, but it is also important to follow typical hiking safety precautions, such as potentially having trail maps.
