Dogs?
Yes, although leash rules vary depending on what section you are in and rangers recommend dogs remain on leash at all times.

In the North Lime Ridge area, north of Ygnacio, dogs must be under positive voice and sight command or leashed at all times. Since cattle graze in this area, dogs chasing cattle can be a serious issue. Lately, there have been some negative dog vs. coyote encounters when dogs stray close to dens as well.

No dogs are allowed at any time inn the center section of Lime Ridge south of Ygnacio. This is the Lime Ridge Wildlife Preserve area. South of the Preserve, dogs are allowed once again but on leash only.

Tours
What's playing in the Lime Ridge Preserve? Come on out and see! Take a tour with Ranger Art Janke into the "deepest recesses" of Lime Ridge. Learn about the fauna and flora of Walnut Creek's wild back yard. We will be staying on main trails. Bring water, good shoes, bug repellant and a good hat. Rain cancels.

Tour scheduling is based on interest calls and can be designed to accommodate your family or group. For more information, call Ranger Janke at 930-7731.
