Guidelines for dog owners visiting San Juan Island National Historical Park:

Bag your pet's poop

Pet owners are responsible for removing pet waste from all areas in the park including campgrounds, picnic areas, parking lots, roads, pet-friendly trails, and other developed areas.

Always wear a leash

Pets must be restrained on a leash no longer than 6 feet.

Respect wildlife

Pets can harass or harm wildlife by making noise or scaring wildlife away.

Know where you can go

Leashed pets are permitted in parking lots, picnic areas, roads, and trails.

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

Certified guide animals are an exception to these rules and may accompany their owner to all park locations.
