I don't remember any but I can't say there are none. There are benches and picnic tables at the falls. The climb is fairly gentle especially compared to other falls. It is rated "easy" and it is only .07 miles to the falls.They have an email where you could ask questions. I'm not allowed to show it here but you can get it and the phone number from the Pearson's Falls website.
Q:
Are dogs permitted on the hiking trails
A:
To be honest I don't remember seeing out there so I am not sure if they are. But I think they would be as long as they are on a leash.
