Pets

Activities with pets are very limited at Fort Larned NHS. Pets are not allowed in any of the buildings. Pets may not be left unattended, while walking them on the park grounds they must be leashed at all times.

Important

Summer temperatures in the Fort Larned area can exceed 110 degrees. We recommended you not leave pets in the car where they can quickly overheat. The  best practice is to take turns looking at the buildings while a friend or family member watches the pet.
