Dogs are permitted in most areas, but for the safety of you and your pets, make sure your dog is kept on a leash no longer than six feet in length at all times and do not allow your dog to dig, disturb wildlife, or become a nuisance to other visitors. Pets are not allowed inside any of the buildings. Always follow posted signs where dogs are restricted.

If you go hiking with your pet, always come prepared with plenty of water for you and your pet. Also, use caution by notifying someone else where you’re going and when you expect to return. If you follow common courtesy, you, your family, and other visitors can all enjoy the beauty and variety of outdoor activity options that Abilene State Park has to offer.
