Dogs at Bahia Honda State Park

Can I bring my dog, and on which trails?
Limited access

Partly. Bahia Honda allows leashed dogs only on a short trail to the old bridge, not on the park's famous beaches.

Dogs on leash may use the 1/4-mile trail to the old railroad bridge, the campground, and parking areas.
