Tyhee Lake Campground Closed Due to Bear Activity
B.C. Parks said the closures will stay in place for the rest of the season as bear encounters rise near populated areas.
- Parks officially closed The Tyhee Lake campground and the nearby Aldermere Trail on Sept 2 due to increased bear activity observed in the area.
- Bear encounters typically increase at this time of year as food sources dwindle and bears prepare for hibernation, prompting them to draw nearer to populated areas.
- Previously, Parks closed the Aldermere Trail on Sept 1, though the day-use and boat launch area remain open as these areas have seen lower bear activity.
- The closure will likely remain in effect for the rest of the season, typically until the end of Sept, given current safety concerns.
- Nevertheless, Parks is urging users to engage in bear aware practices, and the Conservation Officer Service asks the public to report sightings via the RAPP line toll-free at 1-877-952-7277.
