Leashed dogs are welcome on the Sipsey Wilderness trails (about 50 miles across 12 trails and 7 trailheads), on the Pinhoti and Conecuh National Recreation Trails, and throughout the Bankhead, Talladega, Conecuh, and Tuskegee units. On the general forest dogs may be off leash if under control, but Sipsey requires a leash at all times.
A 6-foot leash is required in developed recreation areas like campgrounds, picnic areas, and trailheads. On the general forest and most trails there is no leash law, but your dog must be under control at all times.
Service animals are allowed where pets are not, under the ADA. A leash is still required.
