Can I bring my pet with me on my visit to publicly managed lands?

The rules for pets are recreation sites vary widely, depending on the place you are visiting. Many recreation sites allow pets, but require they be kept under control at all times (i.e., on a leash or in a cage). Some places prohibit all pets.

To determine the exact requirements before bringing your pet to a recreation site, please use the phone numbers, addresses, and/or e-mail addresses and Web links (URL's) provided in Recreation.gov to contact the managers at that site directly.
