Coming late to this thread, but I've been traveling with my dogs for several decades. Many people are telling you to "check in advance" and that's good advice, but there's more to it than just googling where you want to go and checking for pet rules. If a desired location seems unfriendly, send email or a written (!) letter with SASE to the Supervisor and ask NOT "can I bring my dog," but INSTEAD, "what activities are ok for well-behaved dogs on leash?" I've had great success even in some National Parks using this approach. I also ask at state welcome centers, "What historical sites are dog-friendly?" The trick is to ASK and stress "well-behaved and on-leash." Then when you get there, be sure the site supervisors, Rangers or whatever know you'll follow the rules.
