Dog Walking
At Malheur National Wildlife Refuge
Dogs may accompany visitors for companionship, exercise, and recreation, but they are permitted only on designated roads and trails shown on the Refuge map and regulations.
Most trails are under three miles long and follow two-track roads or natural surfaces. Visitors should use caution on East Canal Road, which is open to vehicles. Dogs must remain leashed at all times to minimize disturbances to wildlife, and owners are responsible for properly disposing of pet waste.
To help protect wildlife and their habitat, all areas not identified on the map are closed to the public, including dike tops and fields.
