Western Toad migration has closed the several more trails in Cumberland.

The trail Hai Gai is the latest trail to be added to the closure list for the ongoing Western Toad migration. 

The public is asked to avoid the area and respect all on site signage.

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 the tiny toadlets time to complete their migration with as little disturbance as possible so please plan your biking and hiking routes accordingly and respect all signage in the area. 

These efforts are in concert with the recent voluntary closure of the Perseverance Creek Potholes, which remains in effect during the toad migration.

Current list of trails closed includes: Bronco’s Perseverance, The Pig, Sobo no Michi (climbing trail lower section), Broadway, Off Broadway, That Dam Trail and Short & Curly.
