Check a park's signage and/or website to make sure dogs are allowed before entering. Dogs can signal the presence of a predator and can cause a disturbance to certain wildlife and can disrupt feeding and nesting patterns. Always keep your dog on a leash to be mindful of other park visitors and to keep your dog out of harm's way. Your dog may be friendly, but the law requires that dogs must be leashed at all times. Always pick up after your dog and properly dispose of waste. Just like you would do for yourself, check your dog for ticks after your hike.
