Rules, as cited
Leash rule: Dogs must be on a leash no longer than six feet. The Long Island dog-walking guide lists access as park-wide, and the permit guide says designated areas only — follow posted signs.
- The official Long Island State Parks dog-walking guide lists Napeague as park-wide, with dogs on a leash no longer than six feet.
- The Long Island Region permit guide states that dogs are permitted on a 6-foot leash at Napeague State Park in designated areas only, and owners must clean up after their dogs. If the two official documents differ, follow the posted signs at the park.
- General rules still typically bar dogs from buildings, camping, bathing and picnic areas, and improved walks or boardwalks unless a posted exception applies.
