Dogs are welcome on many trails, including in wilderness areas, but must stay on a leash no longer than six feet along roads, trails, and in campgrounds and picnic areas. The Medicine Bow Rail Trail is one of the longest dog friendly routes.
Dogs are kept out of swimming areas and buildings, and some cabins do not allow dogs.
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.
