55Take the location directions with you since your GPS will try to direct you to the owner's home. It was a fun spot - especially with the pond. This time of year the grass is tall and footing is uneven as you would expect for a wonderful pastoral setting like this. The dogs were so focused on running around the pond (once we found it -not visible from where you park) they didn't notice the areas where there was no fence. Definitely want to come again!Kyla S.

55This was a fabulous spot for our doggo to roam! It is mostly fenced, but there are a couple of places for an escape if your dog is the type. The grass was long, so I recommend wearing long pants and good shoes. Bonnie R.

55Really beautiful, wide open spot! Lake is lovely. We saw a ton of rough skinned newts, which was really cool but be aware that they are poisonous, so don’t let your dog eat them! Spot is also only partially fenced, but our dogs stayed close and have excellent recall. Highly recommend.Aitana S.

55Great spot! The ground is pretty uneven in a lot of areas, but still really nice. It was nice for my dog to be able to run free and not have to worry about him or running into other dogs. I was a little confused about where I was allowed to go. But we’ll be returning soon for sure!Mara T.

55Just what I wanted! I big field right off the highway for my big dogs to run free. Accurate description and clear instructions. I did not see or hear another person or animal the entire time I was there. It was great! Adam S.

55We had an absolutely amazing time here.. For the first 2 hours. (we paid for 3) but on our last hour a neighbor starting shooting off their gun constantly and absolutely scared our dog, she is extremely gun shy and ran straight out of the area to our truck and waited for us under it cowering and shaking. It was quite sad since she had an amazing time prior. If your dogs dont have fear of gun shots I'd say it's a pup paradise!
Other than that, space was plentiful, the fields were amazing, and we even had some forest to explore, and the pond was perfect, especially when it gets hot out! We got some amazing pictures before the shots happened. I could definently see us coming back to try and leave on a good note next time.Miranda H.

55This was so wonderful for my dog and I felt safe knowing it was somewhat “fenced” in. Absolutely worth it and such a beautiful property. We will be back! Marie D.

55This is the best place near Salem for a reactive dog. We've taken our dog here 20-25 times (under my husband's sniffspot account) and we've only seen other dogs there once, when some people parked nearby and walked their dogs up the road.
There are gopher and mole holes in the field but neither we nor our dog have tripped over them.
It's a nice big space. The pond water looks gross but our dog drinks from it and doesn't get sick.

55This was our first visit to a Sniffspot. My dog & I really appreciate the individual reservations so there’s little chance of running into other dogs. Hidden Lake Ranch has lots of room to run & sniff. We’ll be back!Morgan G.

55Hostess was so nice when I called for directions (navigation took me one step too far) and the location was perfect! Big open field for running, the area to the pond has a little trail which my dog loves and she found the pond to be a fun place to explore. We will definitely be regulars here! Krista A.

FAQ about our Jefferson 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.

You can filter Sniffspot dog parks by fencing and distractions. If your dog doesn't have good recall, you can visit one of our 50 fully fenced dog parks in the area.
