Dogs are welcome on Kaibab trails and in its wilderness areas. Keep them leashed in campgrounds, picnic areas, and day-use spots, and under control on general forest trails. Trails that drop into Grand Canyon National Park follow the park's own dog rules.
Developed swim and beach areas at the forest's lakes are generally off-limits to pets.
The North Kaibab Ranger District and its high-country roads close seasonally with winter snow, which limits access there for dogs and their owners.
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.
