There has been a moose spotted in Bridgeport. Moose are uncommon in Nebraska, but sometime they come up in the Northern end of the state. On Saturday, it was Free Park Entry and Fishing Day they decided to temporarily suspend boating until further notice.

Officials say there has been a regular occurrence of at least one moose in and around Center Lake, the largest body of water in the park that is most often used by boaters. The moose has been known to visit the island at the lake in recent weeks.

The Game and Parks Commission stress that people should not approach or feed moose as they have been known to become aggressive toward people and pets. People are recommended to have their pets on a leash at all times. They are also asked to report any moose sightings to the local police department.
