Forestry Corporation says dogs are welcome in all NSW state forests but must be kept under your control at all times, and you should pick up after them. Many state forests border national parks or conservation areas where dogs are banned, so stay inside the state forest boundary. No site-specific lead rule found from an official source, so keep your dog on a lead around other campers to be safe. Parts of Vulcan State Forest may be closed because of fossicking damage. Check signage on arrival. The pin is approximate.
