Leashed dogs are welcome on trails including the Scott Lookout National Recreation Trail through the hand planted pines at Halsey. Keep dogs on a six foot leash in developed recreation areas, and under control on the open grasslands.
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.
