Increased bear activity prompts closures at Bruce Peninsula National Park

Increased bear activity has led to temporary closures at Bruce Peninsula National Park in Ontario, according to Parks Canada. The Cyprus Lake campground and certain parking spots at the Grotto were among the affected areas. Parks Canada announced on social media on Wednesday that the Cyprus Lake campground would remain closed until September 7 due to the heightened bear activity.

Additionally, evening parking reservations at the Grotto, ranging from 4 p.m. to 8 p.m. and 5 p.m. to 9 p.m., were canceled for Thursday and Friday. Other parking areas remained unaffected by the closures, Parks Canada stated. The agency did not provide further information on the specific bear activity that triggered the closures.

Parks Canada assured that they would continue monitoring bear activity in the area and keep both reservation holders and the public informed of any additional closures if necessary.
