Explore Yosemite Mariposa County with your furry friend

A vibrant dog park bathed in sunlight features abundant greenery with mature trees, offering ample shade for leisurely outdoor activities. In the distance is a well-equipped playground that presents an additional activity area. An inviting picnic table spreads out nearby, ideal for enjoying meals al fresco or taking relaxing breaks from play. A neatly-placed trash bin aids in maintaining the park's cleanliness for everyone's enjoyment. Dominating the scene is a generously wide dirt path gracefully curving through the expanse of grass, promising exploratory walks and lively fetch games.

Welcome to the home of Yosemite National Park — Mariposa County. Bring family, friends and, of course, your furry companions to experience the wonder of Yosemite Valley and the living history of Gold Rush-era towns. 

But don’t forget to check whether you need a Temporary Peak Hours Vehicle Reservation before heading out. While Yosemite National Park hasn’t announced the vehicle reservation dates just yet — they’re typically required starting mid-April (for weekends) and June (for weekdays).
