Taking a strong dog to Louisiana state parks
Dogs have always been welcome outdoors, and cabin stays are now possible at certain parks.
The leash rule
The Louisiana State Parks reservation policies state that any pet brought into a state park must be on a leash not exceeding six feet or caged or crated. They apply to campsite, cabin and lodge reservations.
Park with Pets cabins
The Park with Pets announcement says guests must prove their dogs are current on vaccinations and keep them leashed outside, and that pets other than service animals are prohibited at group camps, inside enclosed structures and in swimming areas. Only sixteen parks take part, so check the park's page.
The dog is the test
Parks reward a dog that ignores wildlife and holds a heel near strangers. Ask any professional to show that outside a training field.
