Policy Details

Keep your pet on a maximum 6-foot leash. No matter how well-behaved you think your dog is, he or she may not be able to resist chasing after deer, squirrels, other dogs or even children. ​ Pets are not allowed on swim beaches or water-ski beaches at state parks. Properly dispose of pet waste. Always carry a few plastic bags with you. Do not leave pet food outside at night or when not at your site. Many critters are attracted to an easy meal. Make sure you pet is wearing i.d. tags and carry a current photo. Ensure that your pet's vaccinations and license are up to date. Park quiet hours are 10 p.m. to 6 a.m. daily; but no one enjoys a barking pet left unattended at a campsite, regardless of the hour. Be sure to bring bedding or a plastic tarp for your pet, as well as food and drinking water. Pets that drink from streams or lakes may consume bacteria that could make them sick.
