Service Animals

Service Animals

Service animals are permitted in all park facilities and trails. National Park Service policy defines a service animal as being individually trained to perform a specific task that assists a person with a disability. Service dogs are legally permitted anywhere that visitors can go. Service animals must be leashed at all times.


Emotional support, therapy, and companion animals are not service animals under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), they have not been trained to provide a task directly related to a disability. Emotional support animals are considered to be a pet.
