While I did not have time to search each state's DNR site for details about pet policies, I did visit each site. And, when readily available, I did linked to specifics. Be sure you check out each park's policies prior to visiting to avoid disappointment and/or fines. Another online resource that you might find helpful is DogPark.Com (commercial).

DOG PARKS, RUNS, ETC. Dog Parks, Beaches, and other Dog Friendly places present relaxed opportunities for dogs and their owners to socialize and network with other dogs and their owners. Some locations hold special events, many of them sites include information about different dog owner associations and groups, and some have been created by persons wanting to develop or save a dog park. Some are social and recreational, and others are broader in scope, including advocacy and owner education and training.
