Rules, as cited
Leash rule: Dogs must be on a leash no longer than six feet, and only in designated areas.
- The official Long Island State Parks dog-walking guide lists the Montauk Point dog-walking area as from west of the refreshment stand to just beyond Oyster Pond.
- The Long Island Region permit guide also states that dogs are permitted on a 6-foot leash at Montauk Point in designated areas only, and owners must clean up after their dogs.
- General Long Island State Parks rules still bar dogs from buildings, camping, bathing and picnic areas, and improved walks or boardwalks unless a posted exception applies.
