Bring your Leashed Pet on the TrailPets are welcome at Fort Necessity. If you visit during the summer months, please do not leave your pet in your parked vehicle. Even with the windows rolled down slightly, temperatures inside a locked car can climb to unsafe levels! BARK PrinciplesNational parks are exciting places for pets to visit with their family while on vacation. Sometimes these new places can be so exciting as to be overstimulating. We want you and your pet to learn how to have a positive experience in unfamiliar environments. Learn the B.A.R.K. principles so you and your pet can have a safe and fun visit anytime you go to a national park. BARK stands for:BAG YOUR PETS' WASTEWe are a trash free park so the only trash cans are near the Visitor Center. Please do not leave your waste bags anywhere other than the trash cans. ALWAYS LEASH YOUR PETPets in all National Park Service sites are required to be on a leash at all times, no more than six feet long. This is for the safety of you, your pet, the site resources and other visitors. RESPECT WILDLIFEThis area is home to small and large animals, including several protected species of birds, mammals, amphibians and reptiles, and your pet can injure themselves or the wildlife. Our park is home to bears, coyotes and bob cats. KNOW WHERE YOU CAN GOPets are welcome to explore all of the trails at Fort Necessity National Battlefield, Braddock's Grave and Jumonville Glen. Pets are not allowed in the buildings, to be tied to anything or left in vehicles! Please keep them out of landscapes and wilderness areas as these are habitats for wildlife. (Service animals provide service for persons with disabilities. They are not considered to be pets and are not regulated as pets. Accordingly, they have been allowed to go into areas where pets are traditionally prohibited.) |
