Friendly reminder that Deschutes National Forest summer leash restrictions along the Deschutes River Trail between Meadow and Benham Falls are in place.

Between May 15 and September 15, dogs must be on leash at all times due to “intense recreational use” and “the potential for conflicts with other users.” There is a $200 fine.

Good Dog! is the only place where you can hike, bike or run with your dog off-leash year-round alongside the Deschutes River and Deschutes River Trail area.
