[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Is it true that dogs are allowed to run unleashed in state parks? We walk at a state park near our house frequently and all the dogs we see are leashed. (In VA). [/quote]

Nope. The park employee is an idiot.

Pets in Virginia State Parks:

Pets are allowed in all Virginia State Parks. State regulations prohibit pets on public swim beaches and in public facilities (bathhouses, visitor centers, park offices, restaurants, etc.), and [b]pets must be confined or kept on a leash no longer than six feet and kept under supervision while in the park[/b]. While pets are allowed at False Cape State Park, they generally are not permitted access through Back Bay National Wildlife Refuge, so be sure to call False Cape SP, (757) 426-7128, to verify access.

To avoid potential inconvenience, we ask that you bring proof of current rabies vaccination. This is strongly recommended in Virginia Beach where a rabies alert is in effect.

There is an additional nightly charge per pet for cabins (PDF) stays.

Unfortunately, some pets and their owners don't always consider other guests. Pet owners must clean up after their pets. If a pet is left unattended, becomes a nuisance in violation of the leash law, disturbs others by barking during quiet hours or damages a park facility, the owner's stay may be terminated without refund. The owner will be billed for any damage to park facilities caused by pets.
