The annual Western Toad migration continues in the Cumberland Community Forest Park, with a second wave heading west from Allan Lake.

The Village is working with the United Riders of Cumberland and the Cumberland Community Forest Society to provide community updates on migration routes, educate the public, and move signage around to the affected areas in the park.

Trail closures, erected barriers, and temporary bridges are used to provide tiny toadlets the time to complete their migration with as little disturbance as possible so, if you’re out, you’re asked to  plan your biking and hiking routes accordingly and respect all signage in the area.

Current list of trails closed as of August 8th:

  • Bronco’s Perseverance
  • The Pig
  • Sobo no Michi (climbing trail lower section)
  • Broadway
  • Off Broadway
  • That Dam Trail
  • Short & Curly

For more information, visit Village of Cumberland.
