Dogs are always welcome at any of Cataraqui Conservation’s properties, including the Cataraqui Trail.

But we ask that your four-legged canine family member be on a leash and remain on the marked trails during their visit.

This is for the safety and consideration for other visitors and the wildlife that lives in the area near trails on the properties. Free-running dogs can be intimidating to other visitors and can also chase and disturb wildlife.

And please pick up after your pooch. There are a number of refuse containers located throughout the property.
