Bold Wolf Prompts Campground Closures at Isle Royale National Park

Isle Royale National Park is closing sections of the Three Mile Campground through July 31 and expanding hazing, noise deterrents, and stricter food-storage rules at nearby campgrounds after a bold wolf began sniffing tents, dragging backpacks, and entering tents, signaling habituation to humans. Duncan Narrows campground was closed earlier this week due to rising human-wildlife interactions. There are about 37 wolves on the island this winter—the most since the 1970s—while the moose population has declined.
