Rules, as cited
Leash rule: On a leash no longer than six feet. The PDF also mentions that some parks have dog runs or areas where dogs may be allowed off-leash at certain times, but it does not name an off-leash beach at this park.
- The official Long Island State Parks “Walking Your Dog” PDF (October 2025) states the general NYS Parks rule: dogs restrained by a leash not exceeding six feet may be brought into park areas, but they shall not be permitted in buildings, camping, bathing and picnic areas or on improved walks or boardwalks (9 NYCRR § 415.2).
- The PDF lists Shadmoor State Park as “Park wide.” The same general rule still excludes bathing areas, camping, picnic areas, buildings, and improved walks or boardwalks unless signs say otherwise.
- You must pick up waste, keep the dog under control, and follow posted rules.
