Amistad Dog Policy

Amistad National Recreation Area is centered around the International Amistad Reservoir, and has great opportunities for water sports, hiking, camping, rock art, and exploring cultural history. Amistad National Recreation Area is very large, with the area near the water like an oasis compared to the arid lands nearby.

Amistad National Recreation Area is fairly dog friendly. Dogs are allowed in most parts of the park, including on the water, on trails, and at campgrounds. However, dogs are not allowed at archaeological sites, caves, marinas & docks (except when going directly on and off a boat), or in any buildings. Temperatures can rise quickly here, so please make sure to bring plenty of water for your dog, and do not leave your dog unattended in a vehicle.
