Dog on leash at Miners Beach

Pets are permitted along roads and in designated developed areas such as Munising Falls and Miners Castle. Pets must be kept on a 6-foot leash at all times. Please clean up after your pet.

Pets are permitted at drive-in campgrounds. Keep pet bowls in your vehicle when not in use, and clean up any spilled food. Pet food can attract bears and other wildlife into your camp.  

Pets are not permitted in the Lakeshore backcountry because they may become lost; be injured by porcupines or other wildlife; intimidate other visitors; harass, injure, or kill wildlife; or disturb other hikers and campers.

For more detailed information, please read the Pets at the Lakeshore site bulletin (pdf).
