General Questions

Are pets allowed at our facilities?

Pets are not allowed inside our facilities, including the cabins and shelter houses. They are allowed outside but need to be kenneled or leashed, no longer than 6ft., at all times. If Carroll County Conservation Staff determines pets were in the facility during your event, your security deposit will not be returned, no exceptions. All park users must clean up after their pets immediately.
