Rattlesnake advisory summer 2023

A rattlesnake rests on rocky ground, body curved into a coil. Its patterned brown scales blend with the earth tones around it. The snake lifts its tail, the rattle raised in warning, while its mouth opens to reveal long, curved fangs. The snake’s posture signals alertness and a readiness to defend itself—an example of why summer 2023’s rattlesnake advisory is in effect for dog owners exploring local trails and parks.

Summer is finally here and as heat intensifies throughout California this week, hikers may notice an increased presence of snakes along their favorite trails. Our friends at the East Bay Regional Park District have some rattlesnake safety tips, what to do when you see a rattlesnake, and what to do if you or your pup is bitten by a rattler or other type of snake.
