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

Good to know

Leash under 6 feet, kept attended at all times. The park warns that dogs have gone over the cliff edges chasing wildlife, so extra caution is urged near overlooks.

6 feet maximum. Retractable leashes are often not allowed.

Service animals

Service animals are allowed where pets are not, under the ADA. A leash is still required.
