***In order to keep your pet safe as well as protecting the habitat for our resident critters, all participants must follow the B.A.R.K Ranger Principals:
1. Bag & properly dispose your pet's waste (prevents spread of parasites, helps water quality)
2. Always LEASH your pet (protects your pet from harmful animals/plants, conflicts with other visitors, and keeps native habitats and wildlife from being disturbed)
3. Respect wildlife (the park is the home for wildlife and we want to preserve them for all to enjoy)
4. Know where you can go (staying on marked trails limits impact to environment AND if you get lost, rescuers have an easier time finding you)
There will be quite a few dogs participating, so please make sure that they are well behaved and get along well with other dogs. Please bring water for you and your pet, dog waste bags, sunscreen and comfortable shoes.
