All trails are dirt, they contain rocks, tree roots, and leaf litter. Use caution because trails can become slippery. Pets must be leashed at all times. Rangers recommend using insect repellent and bringing plenty of water for you and your four-legged friends.
Do you like to explore parks with your pets? Follow the B.A.R.K. Ranger Rules and you may take your pet just about anywhere in Fort Donelson National Battlefield, except the Visitor Center, Gift Shop, or National Cemetery (Service Animals are Welcome).
