Dog Friendly Beach at Pistol River State Park - Oregon
Dog Friendly Pistol River State Park - Oregon
Pistol River
State Park is set in the dunes of the southern Oregon coast. The river
supposedly got its name when a militia soldier lost his pistol in the river
during the infamous Rogue River Indian War. In March of 1856, a decisive
battle was fought here.
The dunes and the river system that feeds them are what make this area unique.
During the spring and summer months, the dunes actually grow. The river has
changed its course numerous times in recent history and pothole ponds attract
waterfowl and shorebirds. This is an excellent birding spot. Ocean windsurfing
is so good here national championships have been held three years in a row. The
beaches and sea stacks are wonderful.
Oregon State Park Pet Rules:
Pets are welcome in state parks. To ensure that they remain so, we have park
rules to protect your pet, you and others. Here are some of the basics:
All pets must be kept on a leash (maximum six feet long) when outside a vehicle,
tent, or pet friendly
yurt or cabin. Your pet must be physically restrainedat all times, meaning you
must be holding your pet,holding onto its collar, or be controlling its
leash.You must clean up after your dog, and deposit wastes in the garbage.
 
You are responsible for your pet’s behavior, including barking and other noises.
Pets are not usually allowed inside park buildings. We make exceptions for
service animals and pets invited to stay in designated pet friendly yurts and
cabins.
Pets must be properly licensed and inoculated. An identification tag is a smart
idea. If your pet becomes a stray animal, it may be removed from the park and
transported to a local animal control shelter. Before taking your dog along on a
hike, check with park staff to make sure domestic animals are allowed on the
park’s trails.
