Some Important bear fact. The black bear is found throughout the reservation and on occasions can become a camp ground visitor. Bears are not pets and must be respected. The following tips will minimize an encounter with bears.

Dn not leave food unattended.

Properly store coolers and food in locked cars or hang from a tree 15 feet off the ground and 5 free from the trunk.

Do not attempt to feed or bait bears. Bears quickly learn to associate food with humans.

Never store food in your tent.

Keep pets on leashers at all times. Bears quickly become aggressive when taunted or chased.

Never relocate garbage receptacles. They are placed there for your safety.

Dispose of garbage immediately and always keep your camp clean.

Never approach a bear.

Stay away from animal carcasses.

Be alert at all times.

If you encounter a bear that exhibits no fear of humans or aggressive behavior, report it to Camp host, Game Ranger, or the Game & Fish Department immediately.
