You can take your dog to a national park, but you’ll both need to be very, very good

Here’s what you need to know about bringing your pup to the parks.

First things first: Dogs are, by and large, allowed in national parks. But there are rules intended to conserve the land, protect the wildlife and keep dogs safe. In all parks, dogs must be on leashes no longer than 6 feet, and picking up and disposing of pet excrement is a must. Then specific destinations may have their own rules.

“In Joshua Tree, the rangers directed me to a four-wheel-drive road that no one goes on,” LaFleur said. “We were able to do quite a bit of exploring there.” “The program encourages pets and pet owners to engage in responsible behavior in their national parks,” said Kathy Kupper, a public affairs specialist with the Park Service.

“Sequoia and Kings Canyon National Parks,” Chao said, “are very dog-restrictive, but in Sequoia National Forest, all the trails are dog-friendly.”“It’s a bit like traveling with a child. You’re going to have to plan stops and potty breaks,” said Chao.
