Dog park in the forest near Bellfountain.

Partially Fenced

25 acres

The property is a horse ranch on 25 acres surrounded by private forest. There is a shallow year round creek that is refreshingly cold and also a large pond that your dog can swim in. There are hiking trails that start at the edge of the property. The trails are mostly uphill. The outdoor and indoor arenas are available for an extra fee. They are mostly dog proof for large dogs but not escape proof for small dogs. The horses wander around the property early in the morning so if your dog chases horses it should be kept on a leash around the horses. I recommend that I show you around your first time out here. To get here you must be prepared to drive down 5 miles of gravel road. There is a gate to get into the property. The gate code will be sent to you with the welcoming message. Cell phone signals are weak once you get on the gravel so check the pre-visit message sent two hours before the appointment before you get out of cell service.

Such a beautiful Fall Day. Enjoyed running Zany in the fields. Thank you for sharing your lovely spot with us. Always such a nice escape. Hard to get a good pic of Zany as he is constantly moving. Sully boy!

We 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.

Awesome property! Has space for your dog to run around pretty much anywhere they want to and will definitely tire them out

A 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!

Great location and so much to see and smell! Dogs loved it, I should have booked a longer visit :-)

55We really enjoyed our visit! We weren't entirely certain we were in the right place until we turned in through the gate and saw the little hut full of dog toys (which is adorable!) that's pictured in the access photos, because the address in SniffSpot didn't correspond to the house number that's visible just before the gate where you turn in. Once in, though, it was obvious we were in the right place, clear where to park, and fairly clear where to walk. The property is very open to the adjoining properties, so your dog must have good recall or remain on leash. We saw no dogs, but some small farm animals (goats, poultry, etc) were visible from certain areas. They were in their own fenced area, but if your dog gets overexcited about other critters, you might want to stay clear of that area or keep them leashed. My dog had a wonderful time racing up and down the hill and bounding through the longer grass. There's a lovely area through the trees with seating and a garbage can for poop bags, as well as two seats at the top of the hill. We had a few minutes at the end of our booking, so I borrowed a ball and chuck-it arm from the hut at the entrance, and we played for a bit. She had a wonderful time and slept like a stone afterwards. The property is very pretty, and the view from the top of the hill is lovely. The ground is quite rough and pitted in places, and there's a fair amount of wildlife feces (mostly deer, which is to be expected in an area like this), so wear good, solid hiking boots or similar. There are quite a lot of brambles, and my dog picked up several small cuts and stuck thorns while bouncing around like a demented kangaroo. This didn't bother her at all - I checked her feet and legs every few minutes, pulled out any thorns, and she bled a little bit for a couple of minutes but was totally undeterred from having a fantastic time. If your dog is more sensitive to that sort of thing, you may want to bring booties for them or keep them close to you to help them avoid the brambles. Overall, a great place for a dog with good recall to go for a very tiring run! And it's very close to Sass Winery if you fancy a wine tasting experience afterwards.Heather R.

Nice afternoon for a walk on the woods and fields of Sassy Fox Farms. Yes, it was a little wet out, but the fresh scent of the outdoors, the trees and soggy soil cannot be beat. Zany decided on a little snowman toy for our walk today. He brought it back soaked but intact, and a bit muddy.

Caroline T.

December 2024

We always love our time here! There’s so much space for our high energy breed to run full speed. The area of trees provides good coverage from rainfall and if you want spectacular views, don’t miss the view from the top of the hill!!

Nice mixture of wooded spots, for exploration and sniffing, and open areas for play. Love the huge open areas, giving our labs the room to really run and get their energy out. And they loved the stream and marshy area.

Zany and I enjoyed a delightfully brisk romp at Sassy Fox Farms this afternoon. This area offers a great woodsy area that provides some shelter from the wind and is perfect for a quick pass through game of fetch. ALSO there is a waste receptacle so you don't have a carry the poop bag during your entire visit. That's a bonus! Don't forget to get your cardio going with a hike up the hill for the amazing view. You won't ever regret it. We like to play fetch starting from the parking lot, through the wooded area and up the hill, back down and through the fields. My boy is sound asleep, snoring on this New Year's Eve. Thank you for sharing this beautiful spot with us.

Thank you for sharing your gorgeous property with us. Zany and I enjoyed our quick visit today and took every opportunity to deeplly inhale the clean, invigorating scent of damp trees, and the odor of the rich earth, with a subtle hint of moss and decaying leaves. This left us feeling renewed in spirit and energy.

I took my two Pomeranians out there for the first time and I can tell you they have never ran that fast in their lives. They had so much fun and so did we. It was really beautiful out there in such a nice day. We really appreciate it. It makes a huge difference in our lives and we most definitely will be using it more often! I really appreciated the station they had when you first pull in the property that provides towels for the dogs get wet at the creek and dog toys and the bags for when they use the bathroom and they had little cans throughout the property, which was really cool to have near! Loved it!

Shannon S.

January 2025

Such a great place! The location was easy to find. Toys and towels were in the parking area and that was such a nice touch. The property was well maintained and my girls absolutely loved running all over. The view at the top of the hill was amazing. We will definetly be back!

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. With a Sniffspot off-leash area 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. 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.

How can I find dog hiking trails in Salem?

How do I know if a dog hiking trail works for my dog?

Sniffspot provides the tools to find the ideal spot. Start by applying basic filters, such as fencing 6 feet tall and distractions, to find a dog park with trails that works for your dog. You can also filter by size if you are looking for a certain acre park, an expansive off-leash dog park. If your dog doesn't have good recall, you can visit one of our fully fenced dog hiking trails. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our dog hiking trails where there are no dogs audible or visible nearby. Since you are looking for trails, make sure to check photos to see if it the spot has flat trails or gnarly trails. You can also browse by specific amenities, if you are looking for a view or a beach, for instance, or other activities or fun features. You can check whether the spot has off or on street parking, the regular park hours, whether it has paved trails or a modern restroom.

What are the requirements to bring my dog to a Sniffspot dog hiking trail?

In order to hike the trails, we require that all dogs have basic vaccinations or equivalent titers. We do not permit dogs with a bite history. We require that guests sign our waiver and agree to follow our safety rules.

Will there be other dogs at the Sniffspot hiking trail at the same time as me?

Sniffspot only allows one booking at a time and any host dogs are required to be kept away from the spot during visits. We also enforce 30 min time buffers between bookings.

How much do Sniffspot hiking trails cost?

Dog hiking trails in the Salem area range from $10.0 and $20.0. The least expensive dog hiking trail is Stephenie's Private Dog Park In Dallas. The most expensive dog hiking trail is Rogue Ranch. Each host sets their own price, so you can check the price on the specific Sniffspot dog park listing.
