We all enjoy the love and affection of our pets. But please remember, when you bring your pet to Algonquin Provincial Park this is foreign territory. New surroundings, movements of wildlife, different sounds and smells, lots of people and cars-it can be all very confusing.
Dogs have a protective instinct.
We also have the additional problem that dogs and Black Bears just don't get along. This could unnecessarily attract a bear to you and your campsite and, for this reason alone, we do not recommend dogs be taken into the Park Interior. Reasons for Pet Regulations Aside from the many complaints we receive about pets, there are a number of other reasons for pet regulations. A barking dog can ruin a vacation experience.
