Pets on a leash no longer than 6 feet are welcome in some areas of Crater Lake National Park. Pets are allowed on paved roads and in parking lots that are free of signficant snow, and up to 50 feet away from these paved, snow-free areas; along the 1/4-mile paved promenade at Rim Village; and through the campground at Mazama Village. In the summer and fall, pets are also allowed on a few of the park’s hiking trails: The Godfrey Glen Trail (as long as the trail is free of significant snow); The Lady of the Woods Trail (as long as the trail is free of significant snow); The Grayback Drive (as long as the trail is free of significant snow); and the Pacific Crest Trail (the official PCT, not the “alternate” PCT along the rim of the lake). In the winter and spring, pets are allowed only on one park trail: the Pacific Crest Trail, which is open to cross-country skiing and snowshoeing. The Pacific Crest Trail is open year-round to pets, whether it is covered by snow or not. Pets are not permitted on other park trails, off-trail, on unplowed roads, or inside park buildings, including Crater Lake Lodge and the Mazama Village Cabins.
