Thing to Do
Bring Your BARK Ranger for a Walk
NPS
Sagamore Hill has always been a great place for pets! The Roosevelt family had numerous furry and feathered friends to care for over the years at their Oyster Bay Home.
You are welcome to bring you dog along on your visit. But please remember to:
-
Bag your pet’s waste. Please make sure that your pet, like you, Leaves No Trace.
-
Always keep your pet on a leash. We have many visitors and lots of wildlife; some dogs are more comfortable on our grounds than others. Help us keep our other visitors and wildlife safe by keeping your dog on a leash.
-
Respect Sagamore Hill's wildlife. Birds and deer and foxes, oh my! We're often surprised if wild animals pop up near us while we're walking around, and we bet your dog might be too. While ensuring your dog is leashed will help protect the wildlife, we also strongly encourage you and your dog to keep your distance whenever you see our wildlife.
-
Know where you can go. Our paths and trails are cleared for you and your dog to enjoy. Please stay on the trails, to protect both our ecosystems and yourselves; biting insects and poison ivy are no fun.
