Can I Bring My Dog Into Nova Scotia Provincial Parks?

 

Dogs are welcome in the parks providing you follow these rules.*
The rules apply whether the park is open or closed for the season.

• Keep your dog on a leash at all times including in swimming areas.
• Limit the leash length to 2.5 metres/6 feet.
• Make sure your dog does not make excessive noise or disturb other park users.
• Clean up your dog’s poop and place it in a garbage container. When garbage containers are removed in the off-season you must remove your dog’s waste from the park.

Dogs are not permitted in park washrooms, cooking shelters or change houses.

It is your responsibility to learn and follow the park rules.

*Provincial Parks Act, Chapter 367, Revised Statutes 1989, Section 37
