The Golden Gate National Recreation Area released a final environmental impact statement of its Dog Management Plan, a document 14 years in the making. The creation of the plan and draft E.I.S. won the support of environmental groups like the National Park Conservation Association but riled dog enthusiasts, as it cuts dog access in the G.G.N.R.A., a park that manages over 18,000 acres and spans three counties. The final preferred alternative includes some concessions to dog walkers; it added an allowance for leashed dogs at Kaashi Trail, a loop trail at Muir Beach, increased off-leash access at Crissy Field in San Francisco and allowed for a small patch of off-leash dog access in San Mateo County, among other changes. But other aspects of the plan are sure to continue to frustrate many pet owners, including in Marin. Currently dog owners can walk pets without a leash at Muir Beach, Rodeo Beach, Oakwood Valley Road, Homestead Valley and Alta Avenue, but the final plan permits off-leash dog walking in just one area in the county, at Rodeo Beach. The dog plan has grabbed the attention not just of pet owners but elected officials like Reps. Nancy Pelosi and Jared Huffman. The latter wrote a letter to the park service in September advocating for the addition of the Kaashi Trail for leashed dogs, a change that was included in the final plan, as well as letting Muir Beach to continue to welcome off-leash dogs, which was not. But park officials said the situation for dogs was still better in G.G.N.R.A. than in other federal park lands, and that dogs are still allowed on 31 percent of beaches and 34 percent of trails. “We will proudly remain the most dog friendly park in the National Park Service and the only one to offer off-leash dog recreation,” said the acting general superintendent, Jim Milestone.
