Rule details
Dogs must be on a leash in and around Lakes Tahi and Rua, to protect wildlife values and because the lakes are used for motorised and other water pursuits. Dogs are prohitibed from swimming in the lakes, to prevent accidents and to protect wildlife, but may access the lake edges if they are leashed. Dogs are allowed under effective control in the flat grasslands area to the south of the jet-ski access road that runs across the park to the south of Lake Tahi. (Council control: Prohibited/Leashed.)
