NH State Parks: visiting with pets: the rule in full

Many New Hampshire state parks allow pets all year on a leash of 6 feet or less; never leave them unattended. No pets at any time at Monadnock State Park, North Hampton State Beach, Odiorne Point, or Rhododendron State Park (except its parking area and the Little Monadnock Mountain Trail). No pets on beaches, swim areas, picnic areas and pavilions from May 1 to September 30. Crawford Notch, Franconia Notch and Mount Washington state parks allow pets on hiking trails and dog walk areas only. No pets at Mount Sunapee during the arts and crafts festival.
