Pet Friendly Lodging
Please do not let your dog chase or harass wildlife. 
Keep in mind when planning your trip that it is advisable to call before you bring your dog since conditions can change, such as wildlife habitat protection, re-vegetation and other projects.
Important: Health officials advise that pets can be harmed by blooms of blue green algae, which is common in Humboldt County's freshwater lakes, rivers and lagoons in the mid to late summer. Blooms are recognizable as blue-green or brown mats or foam on the surface of the water. Please do not let your dogs swim in the water at these times.
