Dogs in Bruneau Canyon Overlook

Can I bring my dog, and on which trails?
Dog-friendly

Dogs on leash are welcome on the short paved path to the Bruneau Canyon Overlook, which looks down into an 800-foot-deep gorge. It is a quick stop with a parking lot and pit toilet and little else nearby.

Leashed dogs are allowed on the paved overlook walk and the surrounding public land. There is no water at the site, so bring your own.

Leash rule

A 6-foot leash is required in developed recreation areas like campgrounds, trailheads, and picnic sites. On most of the open BLM land there is no leash law, but your dog must be under control at all times, and local field offices can set stricter rules.

Service animals

Service animals are allowed where pets are not, under the ADA. A leash is still required.
