No Dogs Off-Leash - Notice to Dog Owners

Department of Health

 

NOTICE TO DOG OWNERS

 

In coordination with the Belmont Conservation Commission, Belmont Board of Health, Belmont Police and Belmont Animal Control this is a notice to all person(s) visiting Rock Meadow and Lone Tree Hill Conservation Land and Trails and the expectation of responsible behavior throughout the property.


We are all a part of this community and we are asking for everyone’s help and cooperation so we can keep our treasured trails open and safe for everyone.

 

ALL DOGS MUST BE LEASHED AT ALL TIMES

Off-Leash dogs are NOT permitted in Belmont. This WILL be strictly enforced.  

Belmont Bylaws § 60-200C up to $500 fine

 

DOG WASTE

This applies everywhere in Belmont. Pick up and properly dispose of your dog’s waste and anything else you bring with you. If there is no trash barrel or if the barrel is full, please take it home. Do NOT leave bagged waste on the property.

Belmont Bylaws § 60-200D up to $500 fine
 

DO NOT LEAVE YOUR HOUSE IF YOU ARE SICK

It’s the same rule for everywhere and applies to the great outdoors, too.


MAINTAIN PHYSICAL DISTANCING

Keep yourself and your dog at least 6-feet away from other trail users and please do not cluster in groups that may prevent others from getting around you outside a safe 6-foot distance.


IF A PARKING AREA IS CROWDED, SO ARE THE TRAILS

Please visit another Conservation area if the parking lot is full or come back at a time when it is less crowded. Do not park in front of Conservation Land gates or along Mill St. This will be monitored.


Once again, WE are all part of this community and we are asking for everyone’s help! If you see a walker violating these rules, please kindly remind them.
