Dogs in state forests
For many people, taking their dog on a holiday with them can be quite a challenge.
Did you know that your canine friend is welcome in ALL state forests across NSW?
Just a few things to remember:
- Your dog must be under your control at ALL times
- In Cumberland State Forest dogs must be on a leash at ALL times
- Always pick up after your dog
- Ensure you pack enough food and water for your dog on long forest trips
- Respect other campers who don’t have dogs and keep noise to a minimum
Also, many State forests are adjacent to National Parks, where dogs are prohibited, so make sure you are aware to stay within a State forest while holidaying with your dog.
