Black Bears
Our county is home to black bears. The chance that you will spot one on your trip is high.
We all share in the responsibility for Bear safety.
-Please do not feed the bears.
-Keep all your food and trash in bear proof containers.
-Keep grill and benches free of barbecue and other foods.
-If you see a bear at the cabin, allow it an escape route and give it time to go away. Most bear will go away when they see you.
-Do not approach or get too close or the bear may become aggressive.
-You can carry a Capsaicin spray as a precaution just in case a bear gets too close to you
