Are dogs allowed in Yosemite National Park?

Dogs and pets are allowed in a few developed areas in Yosemite National Park. They are allowed on fully paved roads or walkways, sidewalks, and bike paths unless signs note otherwise. Dogs and pets are not allowed on any trails, buses, wilderness areas, shops, or restaurants.

Dogs are allowed in campgrounds that require reservations like [place id="5660" slug="V8tKc9OH9/upper-pines-campground-yosemite-valley-california-us" label="Upper Pines Campground"], [place id="5661" slug="GywqytTZY/north-pines-campground-yosemite-valley-california-us" label="North Pines Campground"], and [place id="6497" slug="Rcf2jWnPM/lower-pines-campground-yosemite-valley-california-us" label="Lower Pines Campground"]. They are not allowed in any walk-in campgrounds like [place id="6467" slug="gdD0lUNcD/camp-4-yosemite-valley-camp-4-california-us" label="Camp 4 yosemite valley"].

All pets must be on a leash no longer than 6 feet and they may not be left unattended. You cannot tie them up outside a store. Dog and pet owners are responsible for properly disposing of pet feces.

Like human food, make sure you store all pet food in secure protection from the bears.
