"Quinte Conservation is concerned about off-leash dogs at the Belleville non-profit organization conservation area, said general manager Terry Murphy.
The area is home to the popular Pooch Path -a 0.6-kilometer off-leash trail. Murphy said dogs must be leashed in the parking lot and on the other six kilometres of the trail.
'Dog owners who don't leash their pets in the parking lot and on the trails are making it very dangerous for other users of the Conservation Area,' said Murphy. 'Off-leash dogs have been a problem around the parking lot and office as well as on hiking trails. We've had recent complaints that large off-leash dogs are frightening other users of the trails.'"
OTC says - keep your dogs on a leash, unless you are in a solely dedicated dog park.
