Grand River Conservation Areas are great places to enjoy with the whole family, including canine companions, but it is important to be aware of the rules when visiting a Grand River Conservation Authority (GRCA) property with four-legged friends. 

Dogs are welcome at most GRCA sites in the watershed, but must be on a leash and kept under control at all times or visitors could face fines. This fall, GRCA conservation area staff will be increasing enforcement and encouraging guests to ‘Take the Lead’ when visiting with their pets.

In addition to leash requirements, conservation area visitors must pick up after their dogs and always be considerate of others.
