Dogs are part of our culture.
A typical Revelstokian has a toque, a truck, and a dog. We consider our pups to be part of our families and our community, and there are plenty of pet-friendly accommodations and activities in Revelstoke. Dogs are expected to be on leash around town, in our national parks, in our campgrounds, and on our paved Greenbelt trails. While we don't have a designated dog park (yet), there are some good spots to let your dog stretch their legs off-leash.
This page contains everything you need to know about pet-friendly accommodation, where to walk your dog, and where to go if you need a pet sitter.
Off Leash Areas
Most off-leash designated areas in Revelstoke are along the Columbia River. Areas include Big Eddy Park and Big Eddy Flats, north and south sides of the Illecilewaet River, and along the Columbia River flats near the paved greenbelt.
All dogs must wear a collar or harness and a valid dog tag in Revelstoke. Owners must maintain visual sight and verbal control of their dog at all times.
Pick up after your pet. Dog waste spreads diseases, harms local wildlife, and pollutes water. Leaving it behind isn't natural, it's damaging.
