Keep pets on a 6ft leash!

Pets are welcome in the park but please visit responsibly.

Dogs are permitted on park grounds, but must be kept on a leash that is no longer than six feet at all time. This includes when hiking trails. Please collect and remove your pet's waste. There are no trash cans in the park for disposal, but a trash can is available in the parking lot at the Billings Farm & Museum.

When hiking with a dog, please yield the right-of-way to horseback riders, horse-drawn carriages, and other hikers. Remember that not all hikers are comfortable around dogs.

Hiking is hard work for dogs. Watch for signs of stress and fatigue, and provide plenty of water and rest.

Never leave pets unattended inside vehicles especially during summer months.

During winter months, walkers may only use the multi-use trails. Visit Winter Sports to more about recreating at the park in the winter.

Service Animals

Service animals are allowed in all park facilities and trails. National Park Service policy defines a service animal as a dog that has been individually trained to do work or perform tasks for the benefit of an individual with a disability, including a physical, sensory, psychiatric, intellectual, or other mental disability. The tasks performed by the animal must be directly related to the person’s disability. Emotional support, therapy, comfort, or companion animals are not considered service animals.
