The Olympic Peninsula Visitor Bureau has aggregated information about dog-friendly places on the Olympic Peninsula to help visitors with furry friends find the best spots for outdoor fun.

Stefanie Rotmark, the bureau’s social media manager, worked with many area agencies and a local designer to gather the data and create a map indicating places and trails where pets are welcome.

A webpage dedicated for furry fun has been added the Olympic Peninsula Tourism Commission site (OlympicPeninsula.org/dog-friendly).

“Over the past year we’ve had numerous inquiries in all seasons about traveling with dogs: ‘Where can we hike? Can dogs be in the national park? Are they allowed on the beach? Where can I camp with my dog?’” Rotmark said.

“We had written blog and posted information on our Facebook page, but the message didn’t seem to be getting to the right people. So, I decided to help travelers by creating a map and finding all the places where dogs are welcome.”

The map can be found at http://tinyurl.com/OPDogMap.

While most places in Olympic National Park do prohibit dogs, there are thousands of acres to explore with dogs. Several places, including Kalaloch beaches between the Hoh and Quinault reservations, the Moments in Time Trail and Spruce Railroad Trails at Lake Crescent, and Rialto Beach to Ellen Creek are some of the places mentioned on the website. The Olympic National Forest and all state and county parks are dog friendly, too.
