Pets are welcome at Johnstown Flood National Memorial! Responsible pet care is expected of all visitors.
Pets are not allowed in any public building or office except for service animals.
Pets must be on a leash of not more than 6 feet in length at all times and owners need to clean up after their pet.
Pets are not permitted in buildings and they may not be tied to park features or facilities-thus leaving them unattended-while owners go into park buildings.
Pet excrement must be removed from picnic areas, trails, and areas of heavy public use.
Please do not leave pets in vehicles; pets can quickly become overheated if left in a vehicle even if the outside temperatures are not that extreme.
Service Animals
National Park Service policy defines a service animal as being individually trained to perform a specific task that assists a person with a disability. Service dogs are legally permitted anywhere that visitors can go.
Emotional support, therapy, and companion animals are not service animals under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), they have not been trained to provide a task directly related to a disability. Emotional support animals are considered to be a pet.
