The department posted on social media that the animal crossed the highway between Cameron Falls and Reid Lake campground, about kilometre 49.
“Cougar sightings are rare in the North Slave region, but not unheard of,” reads the post. “If you are walking, hiking or camping in this area, please be alert and aware of your surroundings.”
It also cautions residents to “stay calm and keep the cougar in view” if encountering the animal.
