Dogs are not permitted in nature preserve or wilderness areas that are managed for the benefit of local wildlife. However, there are plenty of park trails where dogs are allowed (on leashes, of course), including Peters Canyon Regional Park which offers particularly great trails to explore with your dog.
Here you’ll find runners, family hikers and plenty of fellow dog walkers out for a stroll. If you and your four-legged friend are up for a long hike, make the trek up the big hill, where you’ll find spectacular views of inland OC.
Park Hours: 7 a.m. to sunset
Trails may be closed for up to three days following rain.
Parking Fee: $3 daily. Machine accepts $1 bills and quarters or Visa/Master Card. Annual passes available to purchase in the park office at Irvine Regional Park. Please call ahead for staff availability.
