Glacier Dog Policy

Glacier National Park is a breathtaking park that includes receding glaciers, mountain meadows, valleys, and high altitude lakes. There is an extensive trail system that's over 700 miles here, though dogs are not allowed on the trails. In addition to the natural beauty, there is much cultural history and natural history in fossils here. There are also lodges and chalets here to stay at.

Glacier National Park is somewhat dog friendly, depending on what you're planning to do. Dogs are allowed in developed areas including campgrounds and along roads while on a leash no longer than 6'. However, dogs are not allowed on trails and they are not allowed on backcountry roads which are closed to traffic. Dogs are allowed on the water, however.
