Dogs not permitted

Our conservation lands are not off-leash parks. Please arrange to have some off-leash time with your pets in parks and areas designated for that purpose.

Please also note that pets are not allowed at these locations:

  • Carbyn Creek Wildlands

  • Lu Carbyn Nature Sanctuary

  • JBJ McDonald

  • Bunchberry Meadows

Our other sites do allow dogs, while on leash at all times.

Many of our lands are home to large carnivores, including cougars and bears. There is always a risk that off-leash pets will chase wildlife. Off-leash dogs can lead predators back to their humans if the predator decides to pursue the dog, which can lead to an extremely dangerous situation.

Thank you for respecting wildlife by following our terms of access. Learn more about the effects of dogs on natural areas here.
