Taking a large dog to Alaska parks
State regulations split parks into developed and undeveloped areas, and the dog rules follow that split.
State parks
11 AAC 12.130 (state park pets) says a dog in a developed facility of a state park must be on a leash no longer than nine feet and under control at all times. In undeveloped areas where a leash is not required, the pet must still be under control. The Alaska State Parks FAQ puts it simply: leashed in campgrounds, within voice command in the backcountry.
Chugach and cabins
The Chugach State Park page notes that pets must be under control whether on or off leash. The Alaska State Parks public use cabins page asks for a leash around developed facilities and says sled dogs and horses should not be tied within 100 feet of a cabin.
Fairbanks borough parks
The Fairbanks North Star Borough parks rules require pets to be on a leash and under the owner's control except in designated off-leash areas, ban dogs from swimming beach areas and cap one leash at six feet in listed areas.
Juneau
The Juneau Eagle Valley Center page welcomes pets on a leash or under expert voice command and bars them from the lodge.
