Tips & Recommendations

1Always keep pets leashed at Alabama campgrounds, as regulations typically require leashes no longer than six feet, and never leave pets unattended at campsites.
2Bring proof of current vaccinations, particularly rabies certification, as rangers may request documentation.
3Pack a pet first-aid kit including tick removal tools, as Alabama's forests harbor ticks year-round, and check your pet thoroughly after hiking.
4Bring plenty of fresh water, as some primitive campgrounds have limited potable water access, and avoid letting pets drink from lakes or streams due to potential parasites.
