Curecanti National Recreation Area
Pets at Curecanti

Pets are permitted in Curecanti, and allowed on all hiking trails, but must be leashed at all times.

Pets are not allowed on the Morrow Point Boat Tour.

Owners are responsible for their pet’s behavior and may receive fines if their animal creates problems with wildlife and/or other visitors.

Do not leave your pet unattended in a vehicle or campsite. Interior temperatures of vehicles rise within minutes and pets can quickly overheat and die, even with the windows cracked.
