Pets

 

Dogs and their owners can become B.A.R.K. rangers.

Follow the B.A.R.K. acronym when visiting San Juan Island National Historical Park with you pet:

Bag your pet's waste

• Always brings bags and dispose of waste at garbage cans. Never leave waste on or along the trails.

Always wear a leash that is no more than 6 feet (2m) long.

• This prevents your dog and the wildlife from startling each other.

Respect wildlife

• The park is home to a diverse array of wildlife. Admire from a distance, and do not disturb them!

Know where you can go

• Leashed pets are allowed on all park trails and beaches. They are not allowed in any buildings.

Pets should not be left unattended. Summer heat poses a threat to pets left in vehicles.

Certified guide animals are allowed inside the visitor centers.

Become a BARK Ranger!

Celebrate your four-legged friends by becoming BARK Rangers! As a BARK Ranger, dogs and their owners learn how to safely and responsibly enjoy the park by following the BARK acronym.

Take the BARK Ranger Pledge

Pick up an activity booklet at the American Camp Visitor Center or at the English Camp Visitor Center. After taking the pledge, dogs receive a collectible dog tag.
