The Moon Lake Trail in Riding Mountain National Park is closed until further notice because of a bear encounter.

The Moon Lake Campground will stay open.

Due to the importance of visitor safety to Parks Canada, they are asking visitors to be vigilant, walk in groups, make plenty of noise, and carry bear spray when out on the trails.

They add campers should continue to practice safe camping practices, obey all camping regulations and keep food and garbage secure at all times.
