GREENSBORO, Md. – The Town of Greensboro has announced that Choptank River Park will be temporarily closed amid beaver trapping efforts in the area.

In a post to social media, town officials said the trapping was being conducted after beavers caused damage to several trees along the river. As a result, Choptank River Park, including the boat ramp, will be closed daily from dusk til dawn while trapping operations are underway.

“For the safety of your pets, do not allow them to roam near the riverbank or any traps,” the announcement read. “This closure is necessary for public safety, the safety of pets, and to allow trapping efforts to be successful without disturbance.”

The park and boat ramp will reopen for normal use once trapping operations are completed.
