Travels with Rhea

Can your dog actually hike here?

Can dogs hike in Katahdin Woods and Waters National Monument?

Yes Yes. A leashed dog can use the trails.

Leashed dogs (6-ft leash) are welcome throughout the monument: trails, campsites and the Loop Road. Only the huts are off limits.

Where dogs can go

The Katahdin Loop Road overlook at mile 6.5, the Barnard Mountain trail, Wassataquoik Stream and the Loop Road campsites.

What we do instead

Cut Sep 28: too far north for the 5-day New England loop.

Watch out for

No services and no cell signal inside; the Loop Road is 14 miles of gravel and closes in bad weather.

ME. On our route: Cut from the route. Rules change: check the park's own pet page before you go. Rhea is never boarded or kenneled; where she can't go, we find somewhere she can.
