Trails along the Gila and San Francisco rivers and Bonita and Eagle creeks welcome dogs, and the Riverview and Owl Creek campgrounds are dog friendly too. Keep dogs leashed or closely controlled around other visitors and wildlife.

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