Frequently Asked Questions
Pets
- Can I have a dogs in the campgrounds? Yes,
but they must be on a leash at all times. Please do not take a
vicious or unusually noisy animal camping with you. Also with
native animals out at night you might want to keep your animal
in your camping vehicle so as not to disturb the other campers
with its barking. Remember within developed campgrounds, dogs
are not allowed in the lakes or rivers for swimming unless it
is a seeing or hearing impaired dog.
- Can I have a dogs on forest trails? In most
areas the answer is yes, but they should be under your control
at all times. In addition there are leash requirements in some
high use area - Deschutes River Trail south of Bend and in the
Three Sisters Wilderness, including Green Lakes Trail, South Sisters
Climbers Trail, Moraine Lake, Broken Top, and Todd Lakes Areas.
Due to increase user conflicts regarding dog behavior, to protect
wildlife and to preserve the Wilderness experience, dogs will
be require to be leashed and under physical control within these
areas. Also, during the winter months dogs are not allowed north
of the Cascade Lakes Highway unless they are working dogs. A working
dog is one that is used for ski journing or on dog sled teams.
You need to get a permit from the local offices when using your
dogs in this manner.
