NSW National Parks says dogs are welcome in all NSW state forests and must be kept under effective control. Destination NSW says dogs under their owner's control are welcome in Strickland State Forest. Search results also mention recent guidance to keep dogs on leash, but this couldn't be checked with Forestry Corporation. Check signage on arrival. The pin is approximate.
