A park in Morris County has been closed to visitors after a bear aggressively approached people on a trail.

A bear trap was set up in Tourne County Park, which includes Boonton Township and Denville. According to police, the park is closed due to a large bear sighting in an area where visitors often walk.

Police have taped off part of the park, warning visitors of a dangerous bear. Visitors are asked not to enter the park until park police advise it is safe.
