Casper Wilderness does not allow dogs! You should post this on this page. I understand no dogs off of leash but I don’t understand the policy of no dogs at all!
Thanks for heads up. We made a note that pets are not allowed at Caspers Wilderness Park (at campground or on the trails). Too bad!
It’s because it’s a wilderness park. Anytime OC parks uses the term “wilderness” you can be sure dogs aren’t allowed because they are trying to preserve and prevent disruptions of the natural resources and inhabitants in the area.
They don’t allow dogs because there are mountain lions and coyotes and other wild animals who like to eat dogs. It’s for your pet’s protection.
