- NikkiNov 24, 2023Good for hiking
Wish my pup could've joined for the cave, but they had kennels to stay in while we did the tours. The kennel is mostly concrete with a small dog house area. They provide a lock and key which made me feel slightly less worried about leaving my dog alone (they're unsupervised). There is a water spigot, but you'll need to bring your own bowl and anything else your dog needs (e.g. a bed)

This park is underrated! It isn’t super crowded and the campgrounds and parks have plenty of places to take your dog for walks and hikes. We did the Dixon Cove trail near the Historic Entrance and our pup really enjoyed the shady, peaceful hike through the forest.
- ChloeMar 1, 2022Very dog friendly!!!
Our big guy had the best time hiking and while we were on our cave tour there were shades kennels for him to stay in. Great dog vacation destination!
- KristaJun 7, 2021Great place for my pup to hike!
The kennels were cheap, but bare minimum with no park staff watching the dogs. if your dog is okay being left alone, this is not so bad, but make sure you bring towels or blankets for them and some water. Everywhere else besides buildings is dog friendly and it was a great experience for our pup and she loved her first hike!
