Extra Information / On Leash Walk Sheet Download:

Kananook Creek Reserve is a fantastic area that is dog friendly - please ensure that you have your dog on a leash and pick up after them so that everyone can enjoy this reserve and it stays on our dog friendly listing.

Please ensure that dogs are kept away from BBQ areas and children's play equipment - this is a requirement in most council areas in Victoria. 

When using on leash dog parks remember that not everyone likes to interact with dogs.  Please ensure that dogs are kept on a leash at all times.

Remember to take plenty of fresh water for your dogs as they will be thirsty after a long walk.
