Kettle Moraine State Forest -- Northern Unit
Pets

Pets are permitted [PDF 23KB] in all campgrounds, most trails, roads, and outlying areas. Mauthe Lake and Long Lake Recreational Areas provide designated pet picnic areas for pet owners. There are also two dog training areas (one wet, one dry) within the forest. Basic pet rules include the following:

  1. Buildings, picnic, beach areas, playgrounds, marked "nature" trails and cross-country ski trails are off limits to pets (except disability service animals).
  2. Pets must be on a leash (no longer than 8 feet), under control, and attended at all times, unless in a designated area that allows pets to be off-leash, i.e. dog training areas.
  3. Pets are not allowed to interfere in any manner with the enjoyment of the forest by others.

For a complete list of pet rules, see state park and forest pet rules.
