⚠️Temporary closures in Cape Breton Highlands National Park ⚠️

Parks Canada is responding to an incident in which a visitor was bitten by a coyote at MacIntosh Brook on the evening of September 24, 2026. As a precaution while staff assess the situation, the following areas are temporarily closed:

• MacIntosh Brook
• Lone Shieling
• Pull-offs in the surrounding area

Parks Canada staff are actively monitoring the affected area.

Visitors are asked to respect all closures and signage.

Visitors and local community residents are reminded to use caution around wildlife and give animals plenty of space. If you encounter a coyote, do not run. Make yourself appear large, make noise and slowly back away. Never feed wildlife.

Parks Canada will provide updates as more information becomes available.
