A visit to Oregon’s only national park still won’t be quite normal this summer thanks to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Crater Lake National Park won’t have boat tours on the lake, trolly tours around the lake or ranger-led programs to start a summer that could see a record number of people visit the deepest lake in the United States.
“We’re definitely still in more of a COVID-19 posture this summer,” park spokeswoman Marsha McCabe said. “The thing is that we had to start planning for the summer during last winter (when the COVID-19 situation was much worse). We also have to follow guidelines that limit how many people we’re staffing in housing units, which means we don’t have as many people as normal, and it limits our ability to do everything.”

Ah, the great outdoors. The sun on your face, the wind at your back, and (hopefully) a space to explore with your furry pal. While a walk in the park might seem like the most obvious place in the world to bring a dog, most U.S. national parks have strict rules regarding if and where pets are allowed. Guidelines can vary greatly, so we’ve compiled a list of each one, ranking them from most to least dog-friendly, to help you plan where to take your next parks adventure with your canine companion.
First, a few universal guidelines: keep your pet on a six-foot (or shorter) leash at all times, always bag and throw away your dog’s waste, and never leave an animal unattended in a locked vehicle.
