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.

55Great peaceful place, perfect for getting the pups out to get all of their energy out and me and my wife had a great time relaxing. Definitely will be going back!Anthony N.

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.

55Great spot! In addition to our dog loving the spacious terrain, there was a fantastic sitting area under the pine trees, and if you are up for the hike up the hill in back you can catch a fantastic sunset view from the Adirondack chairs up top! Abigail H.

55Such a beautiful spot with lots of room to run and explore. Some sections of the field have quite a few blackberry bushes growing at grass height but the exterior paths are mowed. Ashley S.

55We come here frequently because it’s awesome! Penny knows exactly where we are headed when we get in the car and puts on her happy feet. It has enough space where she can run to her hearts content and it’s great exercise for everyone. It is uneven ground, so you must pay attention when walking. Beautiful views, close to home, 10/10! Will keep coming back. Dawn J.

55A beautifully chill visit to Sassy Fox Farm this afternoon. This spot never disappoints. Zane enjoys "picking" out a ball prior to heading up the hill. I was also able to pick up some fresh eggs today, they are the very best! Margie T.

FAQ about our Salem dog hiking trails

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.
