Dogs in state forests

NSW State forests are ready for you (and your best friend)

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:

  • In all State Forests your dog must be under your control at ALL times and owners MUST comply with their responsibilities under the Companion Animals Act 1998 while dog(s) are in a public place
  • Always pick up after your dog
  • Ensure your 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.
