Anza-Borrego Desert State Park, located in Borrego Springs, is the largest state park in California. Although dog-friendly in some areas, pups must be on a leash no longer than six feet and under immediate control. Pets must be in a tent or vehicle during nighttime hours and are not allowed cross-country or on hiking trails. Despite not being able to access the paths, you can still enjoy the rugged landscape formed largely by erosion from rain, snow, ice and wind.

Dog in the desert
Always take the scenic route.
Despite not being able to access the trails, you can still enjoy the rugged landscape formed largely by erosion from rain, snow, ice, and wind. Dogs are allowed on wash/dirt roads and on the short native plant trails around the visitors' center. There is a 0.6 mile (1.2 mile) round trip sidewalk through the desert from the visitors' center to the campground, which is gorgeous in early spring when everything is green and flowers are starting to bloom. Dogs are also allowed in the campground!
THE only trail you can bring your dog in the State Park, but it’s really good. It starts at the campground an ends at the Visitor Center. (1.2 miles round trip)
