Tongass National Forest

The dog-friendly Tongass National Forest is the largest national forest in the United States. Given its immense size, recreational opportunities abound, including hiking, camping, hunting, fishing, scenic driving, kayaking, canoeing and wildlife viewing. The park covers much of southern Alaska, and there are numerous trails that welcome visitors and their dogs. Dogs should be kept on a leash, and owners should be sure to clean up after their pets to comply with park rules. The Mendenhall Glacier Visitor Center in Juneau is a popular area to visit. Visitors are required to purchase a pass from May 1st through Sept. 30th to enter the Visitor Center. Passes can be purchased online. Visit Website
