Dogs on a leash can join you on the rainforest's trails and along the main recreation corridor. Keep pets under control near the waterfalls and pools such as La Mina and Juan Diego, where crowds gather to swim.
The forest manages visitor capacity because of limited parking and disaster recovery construction, camping is currently unavailable, and the main Rio Grande corridor has closed at times for repaving.
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.
