Domestic Animal Policy

Domestic animals (i.e. dogs, cats, birds) are prohibited from County parks, except at the Baseline Road to Marshall Swamp Trailhead, which is governed by FS 260.016(1)(c), which state:

Dogs must be on a leash not exceeding 6 ft. Domestic animals that are noisy, vicious, dangerous, disturbing or act threatening to persons or other animals are considered nuisances and will not be permitted to remain on Greenway property.

Geocaching


All caches must be maintained in a family friendly manner. The cache cannot contain any food, alcohol, drugs, weapons, explosives, dangerous items or adult items. Caches should be located along established trails, to minimize off trail hiking. All caches must receive the prior authorization of the Department.

Lost and Found Items

Staff members finding items left in our Parks have the responsibility of tagging the item(s) with the date and general location of where the item(s) were found. Any item(s) found will be held for thirty days. After thirty days, a Park Ranger will dispose of abandoned item(s) accordingly. The Park Ranger will maintain a log of items that were disposed of which will include: the general description of the item, date of disposal and initials of the Park Ranger. Any claimed items to be mailed will be at the expense of the guest.
