"Although saddle mountain signage and the state park website states that dogs are allowed but must be on a leash, it is not very dog friendly. Over the years, we have had several calls for dogs that needed assistance off the mountain due to dehydration or cut/raw paw pads," the post read.

"The trail has copious amounts of welded wire fencing on the ground to provide traction and stability of the trail. Many of these sharp wires are sticking straight up. As well, walking on wiring and rocks for an extended amount of time can be very rough on your fur baby," the post said.

"Maybe new signage can be put up to explain this and forbid dogs on the trail? Many won't know this about the trail's effects on dog paws, especially with current dog friendly signage," one woman suggested in a comment.
