Pets are allowed in most parts of the recreation area. Pets must be on a leash that is no longer than six feet in length. Owners must clean up solid pet waste.
Follow B.A.R.K.:
B – Bag your waste
A – Always be on a leash
R – Respect Wildlife
K – Know where you can go
Remember your pet is just as susceptible to the heat as you. Keep your pet hydrated and cool—a jump in the lake may be just the thing!
