  • Dog-friendly

    ​Dogs are welcome in the park as long as:

    • they are on a six foot or shorter leash at all times

    • their waste is properly disposed of

    • they are normally allowed while participating in the activity you're engaged in (hunters need to be aware you cannot hunt with dogs, e.g.)

  • Horseback Riding

    Hunters accessing Lone Mesa with a permit may use horses. No overnight facilities are currently available on the park, but staff can assist with finding good horse camping on Forest Service lands just off-park. 

    All hay brought into the park is required to be certified weed-free.
