A hiker in a National Park site has been bitten by a rabid racoon, according to a news release issued by NPS officials.
In the report, which was released yesterday, the NPS announced that a hiker had been bitten on March 14 while hiking in Delaware Water Gap National Recreation Area which straddles New Jersey and Pennsylvania. The hiker, who was not named, was reportedly hiking on the McDade Recreational Trail between Bushkill Access and the Valley View Campground when the incident occurred. The raccoon later tested positive for rabies.
