La Plata's parks don't have a B.A.R.K. Ranger program, but the first bits of advice to humans and dogs are the same wherever you take your furry friend.
Attention Humans: Bag your pet’s waste, always leash your pet, respect wildlife, know where you can go. Thank you.
Attention Dogs: Bark bark bark, Grrr, Arf, Arf, Arf, Woof. Good Dog.
As each park has a unique experience for you, they each offer different experiences with your pet. Many national park sites do allow pets in developed areas. Explore which parks allow pets, which ones prohibit them, and things you need to know to enjoy your visit with your furry friends at https://www.nps.gov/subjects/pets/visit.htm
