Leashed dogs are welcome on the forest's trails and in all campgrounds, including around Lake Winnibigoshish, Leech Lake, and the Lost Forty old-growth pines. Keep pets on a leash 6 feet or shorter.
Pets are not allowed in beach areas, including at the Cut Foot Sioux and Winnie-area campgrounds.
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.
