Bear Alert
A bear cub was spotted on the trails this past Sunday morning around the Wolf/Weasel area. Please use caution and bring your bear spray!
Moose Alert
There's a cow with two calves hanging out on Wolverine and she is cranky! She has already followed and charged someone out walking. Keep an eye and ear out for the family if you're in that area. If you see them, give mom lots of space! And dogs absolutely must be on a leash in that area. We don't want any people, dogs or moose to be injured. She will hopefully chill out as the babies get a little bigger, but not if she continues to be spooked by people, dogs or bikes. Let's let her get over the new-baby jitters in peace. And please let us know where and when you see her so we can keep trail users updated. Send us a message on Facebook or email us…
