Dogs can hike the forest's trails and the 93,000-acre Cabinet Mountains Wilderness. Keep them leashed in campgrounds, picnic areas, and trailheads. Because a forest-wide food storage order is in effect for grizzly bears, keeping your dog under control helps avoid wildlife encounters.
Pets are not allowed in designated swim areas.
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.
