A popular national park in the U.P.
is closing campgrounds after a wolf got a little too close for campers comfort.
Isle Royale park officials say over the past week a wolf's been seen sniffing and pawing at tents, dragging backpacks away from tents, even going inside one tent.
According to a news release, the wolf has become increasingly bold and shows signs of growing reliant on human food.
Authorities say they'll increase their wolf deterrent efforts, which include air horns, paintball guns, and installing an alarm to alert visitors when a wolf comes around.
The goal is to reopen by August 1st, but the closure may continue along with additional deterrent efforts if necessary.
State authorities want to know what you think about Wisconsin State Parks.
Here's Civic Media's James Kelly.
The Department of Natural Resources is still seeking public input on an update to the Wisconsin State Park System's strategic plan.
According to a press release, the updated plan seeks to summarize the conditions of Wisconsin's state parks, identify any potential issues and opportunities to address, and serve as a strategic management guideline for a 10-year period.
Residents interested in providing their feedback can learn more about the current strategic plan on the DNR's website and complete an online survey.

The Wisconsin Department of Trade and Consumer Protection has issued a public health alert for a bratwurst that's been mislabeled and could contain undeclared allergens.
The brats are the Reuben flavored bratwurst produced by Racco Family Sausage located just outside Madison.
Health officials say the brats contain soy and egg which is not declared on the label.
They want to make sure anyone who's allergic to soy or egg knows not to eat these brats.
A statement on the company's Facebook page says the mistake happened.
On nine pounds of brats, they were sold frozen at the Racco Family Sausages location in Judah.
Three people went missing over the weekend when their pontoon boat capsized on Lake Pepin along the Wisconsin-Minnesota border.
Wabashaw County deputies say they got a call around 10.45 Saturday night that people in the lake were screaming for help.
First responders found three people in the lake holding on to an overturned pontoon boat.
They told responders three others had been on the boat but couldn't be found.
More than a dozen law enforcement agencies searched through the night with boats, drones and helicopters.
As of 10.30 Sunday morning, the people had still not been found.
WCCO TV News is reporting that the search operation has now turned to a
recovery effort.
Authorities say the pontoon boat flipped over after crashing with another boat in the dark.
An invasive plant species never before found in Wisconsin has now been confirmed in the state.
Civic media's Maddie Schaefer tells us why the discovery could pose a threat to our native species.
The Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources says Pale Swallowwort was recently discovered along the Oconto and Shawano County line.
The DNR says the discovery makes early detection especially important to prevent the vine from becoming established and spreading to other parts of the state.
The vine grows over native vegetation, crowding out plants in forests and grasslands.
It can also harm monarch butterflies, which mistake it for native milkweed.
Due to those impacts, Pale Swallowwort is classified as a prohibited invasive species
in Wisconsin.
More information on identifying and reporting pale swallowwort is available through the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources.
For Civic Media News, I'm Maddie Schaefer.
Anyone who believes they've found pale swallowwort is encouraged to report it to the DNR with photos and the location of the plant.
We've got another heat wave to start out our work week.
