Alaska State Park Regulations require that all pets be on a leash in all State Parks. Walking your dog in Fort Abercrombie on a leash is a courtesy to other hikers who may be afraid or just annoyed by a loose dog running around. No matter how well trained your dog might be, a leash is a good idea. There are often deer in the park and, occasionally, bears as well. A leash protects your pet and wildlife.
A no-leash required zone is located at the Parkside entrance to the park. In that area, you can walk your dog without a leash. The leash zone includes the trails around Lake Gertrude and areas east of the lake.
Please help protect our wildlife, create a positive experience for all hikers, and honor State Park regulations and leash your pet in the required areas.
