🐻

Great Smoky Mountains National Park is bear country 🐻

If you're visiting the Smokies, help us protect the animals who live here, in both the national park and the surrounding areas, by being BearWise.

• Have an open or soft-topped vehicle? Never leave food or scented items unattended inside of it (Rubber ducks are fine!)

• Planning to hike? Never leave your backpack or belongings unattended. Pack all trash out with you and dispose of it in a bear-proof dumpster.

• If you see a bear by the road, use pull-offs to view it, do not stop in the roadway. Never approach a bear within 50 yards or any distance that may disturb it.
