Pets in the park must be restrained at all times, and are not permitted in park buildings, on trails, or in the backcountry. Be aware that dogs can agitate bison and other animals, creating a dangerous situation.

Maah Daah Hey is a dog-friendly trail in North Dakota. Described my many as the best kept secret in the state, this 144-mile long trail is a great way to see the stunning scenery that North Dakota has to offer. Dogs must remain on a leash on the trail due to the other wildlife that may be spotted, including prairie dogs. Some parts of the trail are not pet-friendly, including the sections that are located within any state or national parks. Dog owners are reminded to clean up any mess that their pets leave behind.
