Local rule · North Vancouver
Beyond the parks listed here, the District lets dogs off leash under voice control on the Baden-Powell Trail where it crosses District land, and on "powerlines", which its bylaw doesn't map, so ask the District which corridors count. Other land managers' rules apply off District land. District of North Vancouver
