Dog hiking on the Whites Creek and Thomas Creek trails on the Carson Ranger District must be leashed at the trailheads and within one mile of the trailheads.

There have been a number of incidents where off-leash dogs have harassed herds of sheep being used by the district to reduce hazardous fuels in the area.

The U.S. Forest Service have released sheep on the Arrowhawk project area to reduce hazardous fuels by removing cheatgrass and other non-native vegetation from forest lands. The unit being grazed is more than 1,000 acres of land located approximately 10 miles southwest of Reno and just west of the Arrowcreek residential area urban interface.
