There are benches available near the Agawa Rock trailhead where visitors can alternate waiting with their dog. Dogs are permitted on other park trails, provided they are kept on a leash not exceeding 2 meters.
Off-leash Pet Exercise Areas are located at Agawa Bay north of the campground, near the Visitor Centre, and at the north end of Old Woman Bay.
