Each venue may have its own set of rules, restrictions
. And keep in mind that the rules exist for a reason: Breaking them can be detrimental to your dog and to other visitors’ experiences, and may even lead to more restrictions on dogs in the future.
“The program encourages pets and pet owners to engage in responsible behavior in their national parks,” said Kathy Kupper, a public affairs specialist with the Park Service. While national park sites are specifically chosen for conservation purposes, other federal lands are more multipurpose, often allowing hunting and livestock grazing. As such, many national forests and BLM sites allow dogs to be off-leash with their people, and trails are largely accessible to dogs when compared with those in national parks. Of course, even if your dog is allowed off-leash, they still must be under control; your dog should not chase wildlife, livestock or other hikers.
In national parks with more restrictions, this may mean skipping attractions and hikes, hiring a pet sitter , boarding your dog for the day, or tag teaming with a partner or travel buddy.
