The park allows dogs but with some restrictions. Visitors must keep their dogs on a leash no longer than 6 feet at all times. Pets are not allowed on hiking trails, in the backcountry, or on park wildlife. They are allowed within 100 feet of roads, picnic areas, and campgrounds. This is to ensure the safety of both the dogs and the wildlife in the park.
