The Griffy Lake Nature Preserve will be closed to all public access and recreational use for the next two weekends because of deer hunts . The preserve will close: At 11 p.m. Friday, Nov. 13, 2026, and reopen at 5 a.m. Monday, Nov. 16. At 11 p.m. Friday, Nov. 20, and reopen at 5 a.m. Monday, Nov. 23. “The closure includes all trails, shoreline areas and the entire lake,” the city of Bloomington’s parks department said in a news release. “Hiking, fishing, boating and all other recreational activities are prohibited during the closures. No watercraft may be launched onto Griffy Lake during either hunting weekend.” The 1,220-acre nature park north of Bloomington offers scenic woodlands and a 109-acre lake that formerly served as Bloomington's primary drinking water source.
