55Oh my, this is like a slice of heaven! It is so peaceful. My foster pup was almost as tall as the grass in some spots, lol (he is kind of a low rider). The VIEW IS ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC at the top. There is a cool little wooded area on the right side as you head up. My lil dude was on a long line and he was tearing around in the grass and getting all the smells while I took in the view!!!!! Definitely worth the trip and we will be back. P.S.-There is a small garbage can for poop bags as you head into the property on the left and one in the wooded tree area. Daryn J.

55Lots of room to run! Convenient trash bins located near towards the entrance and another in the mini forest. There's also chairs located at the top of the hill. My pugs are definitely tired from all the running around and exploring.Joselyn M.

55What a stellar place to wander and wonder at all the beauty the Willamette Valley has to offer: amazing views, old growth trees, verdant valleys and hills to roam.
There are several different trails mowed through the meadows. We chose to climb the hill and were richly rewarded with distant views and wide open skies.
Be sure to drive slowly on the gravel road. It is easy to kick up a cloud storm of dust and it’s hard on the neighbors. Slow down to 10-15 miles, roll down the windows, and soak in this exceptional rural areaShannon L.

55We had so much fun exploring and enjoying Sassy Fox Farm. It is easy to find, well marked and lots of area to explore. We enjoyed sitting in the chairs up at the top and enjoying the stunning view. Our pup Rye had a blast. Taylor S.

55We took our dog for his 4th birthday! He is a husky mix and not usually allowed off leash and doesn’t play well with other dogs. This was a great way to allow him to romp around off leash! It isn’t fully fenced but we kept to the property lines and away from the area near the road (which isn’t busy) and he was a very good boy. They have animals but they were all near their home away from the area to explore and seemed to be in an enclosure - so no worries there. We were wanting to check out their goats/chickens/ducks but weren’t sure if that was ok so we didn’t.
My kids loved it as much as the dog did!
We will be back! Thanks so much!Abby D.

552nd time and we loved it! Views are beautiful and loved the mowed trails to follow. Great cardio for you and the dogs. Love the trash containers too for poop bags. Little running creak that was used by the dogs to cooldown in and drink from on this hotter day. Thank you again for letting us visit will for sure visit again. Rebecca and Jesse F.
