National parks that ban dogs on the trails

Nobody likes driving hours only to learn the dog cannot leave the parking lot. These are the national parks that keep dogs off the trails, or out of the park altogether.

In most of these, dogs are held to paved roads, campgrounds, and developed areas. A few ban them completely. Each page spells out exactly where a dog can and cannot go.

The good news is that nearly every one of these parks has national forest or BLM land close by where a leashed dog is welcome, so a trip is still worth taking.
