There are no marked trails, just open dunes shared with fast-moving vehicles. Unleashed dogs are regularly lost or killed by vehicles, rattlesnakes, and coyotes, so keep your dog leashed and close.
Summer temperatures are dangerous and the sand gets extremely hot on paws. Most visitors come in the cooler months from fall through spring.
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.
