Firearms Regulations
It is the responsibility of visitors to understand and comply with all applicable state, local, and federal firearms laws before entering this park.

Prayer Offerings

Washita is hallowed ground for many of the Plains tribes. The stones and other items that you see sitting on top of the granite monument or the colored pieces of cloth or other objects which are tied on the fence or hung in the trees along the trail, all serve as physical and symbolic representations of prayers left by Native Americans today. Wherever you see them, remember that they are an integral part of Native American religious rights. We voluntarily ask that you please do not disturb, damage, remove, or photograph them.

Visiting with Pets

  • Pets are not allowed on the trails or in buildings (Service Animals excepted).
  • Pets may be walked along the Dust & Fire Trail around the visitor center and in parking lots. Not on the Battlefield Trail.
  • Pets must be leashed at all times when outside a vehicle.
  • Leaving pets unattended or tied to any object within the park is prohibited, including the exterior of motor vehicles parked within park boundaries.

Please remember that your pet is as susceptible to the heat as you are. Keep your pet hydrated and cool.
