Off-leash areas
No dedicated off-leash park tagged in Campbell River so far. That is usually a mapping gap, not a real one: pet shops and vet clinics know the informal spots.
In the meantime, the dog walking guide covers parks and routes where leashed dogs are welcome.
Ask a local: the staff at pet stores and vet clinics know the real picture -- the unofficial off-leash spots, the patios that actually like dogs, the trails to skip in tick season. A two-minute conversation beats an hour of searching.
Before you head out with the dog
- Paperwork. Rabies certificate and tags in the bag -- kennels always ask, parks sometimes do.
- Default to leashed. Unless a sign says off-leash, the leash stays on; that is the rule in most towns.
- Hot pavement. Summer visits mean early or late walks, and the hand test on asphalt before every outing.
- Emergency number. Put the nearest vet clinic in your phone now, not at midnight when you need it.
