Dogs must be restrained or on a leash no longer than six feet at all times, wear a collar with current tags, and owners must pick up after them. Dogs may join you on the river, but you must pack out all pet waste.
On certain wild and scenic river segments, upstream travel by motorized watercraft is restricted from June 15 through September 15, so plan float trips accordingly.
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.
