There are 100's of toadlets migrating across the trail systems in Cumberland Forest. Please note the trail closures, and share this post.Major trail closures. Please do not use the west side of the network, see the map. Tens of thousands of toads are dispersing in all directions west and south of Alan Lake. SoBo No Michi is closed Sykes Bridge area is teaming, Perseverance Creek is also extremely busy. The south side of Alan Lake is also covered with toads. We have closed all access via Davis lake main to Perseverance Creek, the Potholes, Sobo No Michi etc. All trails that come down the west side back to Perseverance area are closed. Please do not go into that zone for the next few days. Hopefully we will be clear to roll by the weekend.Please respect all signage at the trail access points and in the CRI car park, informing you of up-to-date information of trail closures and the migration routes.
