Rabid Beavers Attack Visitors, Maryland State Park Water Access Shut Down

Two rabid beavers attacked visitors at Cunningham Falls State Park in Maryland—one 13-year-old swimmer in late July and a 19-year-old fisherman days later—leading officials to shut down water access while they search for other infected animals; both beavers were euthanized and tested positive for rabies. Rabies is fatal if not treated, though beaver infections are extremely rare, and park officials warn visitors of the health risk as the investigation continues.

Rabies Alarm Triggers Maryland State Park Closure After Beaver Attacks

Two beaver attacks at Cunningham Falls State Park in Maryland prompted the closure of swimming and water access while officials investigate a possible rabies outbreak. A July attack on a 13-year-old boy led to euthanizing the beaver, which tested positive for rabies, and a second attack on a 19-year-old fisherman resulted in another beaver being captured and euthanized with rabies results pending. Park surveillance has increased, beaver removals are planned if spotted, and visitors are advised to stay at least 25 yards from beavers and contact the Frederick County Health Department if exposed.
