Flathead 411 In The Know

We’ve had reports of bear activity in the Birch Branch area of Cedar Flats. The Forest Service will be posting signage to alert trail users, and we’re asking everyone to remember to recreate safely by adhering to the following:

-Carry bear spray in an accessible place and know how to use it.
-Stay alert and look for bear activity, especially where visibility or hearing is limited (woods, bushy areas, streams)
-Travel in a group and keep members together (especially kids).
-Make noise whenever possible to avoid surprising a bear, especially where visibility or hearing is limited.
-Avoid traveling at night, dawn or dusk.
-Avoid carcass sites and scavenger concentrations.
