Maryland Department of Natural Resources officials said a beaver bit a 10-year-old girl canoeing at Seneca Creek State Park on August 14, leading to the closure of about a mile of trail while staff searched for the animal. Earlier in July, two beavers at Cunningham Falls State Park were identified as rabid after attacks that injured a 19-year-old fisherman and another visitor, prompting the lake’s closure and an intensive wildlife search. State biologists later said the rabies risk at Hunting Creek Lake remained under review, with no reopening date set.
