Yes. Leashed, well-behaved dogs are welcome. Please clean up after them.

We have two-dozen picnic tables and over 50 Adirondack chairs available on a first-come, first-serve basis. These will fill up quick, especially the ones around the fire pits. It’s a good idea to bring camp chairs/blankets in case things fill up.

Outside food and beverages are not permitted.
