Do I need a reservation to enter the park?

No. There is no entrance fee and no required reservation to enter. Backcountry stays require separate camping permits.

Are dogs allowed in the park?

Dogs may be in developed areas and along roadsides on a 6-foot leash; they are not allowed on hiking trails or in backcountry areas.

Camping is allowed only in designated campgrounds or backcountry campsites; permits and reservations are required for all overnight stays.

Maintain 100 yards from bears, 50 yards from other wildlife; never feed wildlife; store food securely in a vehicle or bear-resistant container.
