Red River Gorge Pet-Friendly Cabin Trip Checklist
What to pack and check before booking a pet-friendly cabin in Red River Gorge, from pet policies to trail gear for your dog.
Bringing your dog makes a Red River Gorge trip better—if you plan ahead. Use this checklist before you book and before you pack.
Before you book
- Read the pet policy. Each of our pet-friendly Red River Gorge cabins shows how many dogs are allowed and any pet fee.
- Count your dogs. Include every pet when you book so the right fee is applied.
- Think about location. Staying close to the trails you plan to hike means less time in the car.
What to pack for your dog
- Leash and harness (leashes are required on Gorge trails)
- Food, bowls and extra water
- Bed or crate, plus a familiar blanket
- Waste bags
- Towel for muddy paws
- Tick prevention and a basic first-aid kit
- Vaccination records
At the cabin
Keep your dog off furniture and beds unless the listing says otherwise, and don't leave them alone if they bark or chew when anxious. Wipe paws after hikes, and clean up the yard before you check out.
Out on the trails
Keep the leash short near cliff edges, avoid midday heat on exposed rock and check for ticks every evening. Find good routes in our best dog-friendly hikes in Red River Gorge, and see the full pet-friendly Red River Gorge guide.
