Yes! We encourage all furry friends to come; we just ask that animals be leashed. Per Jockey’s Ridge State Park regulations, all pets are required to be leashed while on State Park property.

Jockey’s Ridge State Park offers gator rides up the dunes to enjoy the kite festival and beautiful views! We strongly encourage to call ahead to plan a gator ride, as Park Rangers must follow a strict schedule while on park property.
