Dogs can join you on the forest's many day-hiking and backpacking trails, including waterfall routes and Central Cascades wilderness paths. Leash them at campgrounds and developed sites, and keep them controlled on general trails.
The Central Cascades wilderness areas require a limited-entry permit from June 15 to October 15, which applies whether or not you bring a dog.
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.
