"NJDEP called me today around 3pm and told me that there was a bear incident involving a walker and his greyhound. jungle habitat is in "temporary lockdown". no trail use until the issue is resolved (see below).
they were on one of the singletrack trails and the bear got close and there was an injury to the person and the dog. the dog is actually in pretty bad shape (he's in my wife's animal hospital up here so got first hand details) but will pull through. the man involved is ok but was mildly injured.
the bear is a category 1 bear with 2 prior complaints and will be captured. barricades have been setup and the park is temporarily closed for the public's safety. sorry folks, when we hear more we'll advise. for now please divert to one of the other area trail networks. hopefully this won't be for more than a day or two but we're just not sure."
For your own safety and the safety of others, please STAY OUT of the park. As soon as we hear that the situation is resolved, we'll update you via email, on the blog and on Twitter. Thanks for your understanding.
