Popular Trail Closed After Owl Attacks Reported

After reports of being attacked by a bird, officials at Lake Bemidji State Park have closed a popular trail.

A sign posted near the Rocky Point Trail says that two parties have reported being attacked by a barred owl near the waterfront area.

Officials say that animal control has been contacted; however, in the mean time, “be alert and look up.”

The park asks to keep small children and pets nearby.

The trail was closed over the weekend.
