Oregon’s popular Cannon Beach has reopened after closing because of a cougar sighting on Haystack Rock
CANNON Oregon’s Cannon Beach, which was closed over the weekend after a cougar was spotted on the iconic Haystack Rock, reopened to visitors Monday following the animal’s departure.
The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service said officials confirmed that the big cat had moved on from the craggy coastal formation. A game camera captured an image of it leaving the rock Sunday night, and tracks were also found heading away, federal officials said.
Multiple agencies and organizations, from local and state police to the state Department of Fish and Wildlife and the Parks and Recreation Department, responded to the cougar sighting Sunday morning.
