There are specific trails designated for off-leash dogs that are made clear by signs posted throughout the park. They can be used off-leash from sunrise until 9:30 AM, and again at 3:30 until 6:00 PM, seven days a week. Please be sure that your pal is kept on-leash in the parking area and entrance trail until entering the woods and designated trails.
