If You Encounter a Black Bear in Timber Trails / Lake Naomi:
Immediate Actions:
- • Stay calm and stand your ground. Most black bears are curious, not aggressive.
- • Do NOT run. Bears can sprint up to 30 mph. Back away slowly.
- • Make yourself look bigger. Raise your arms, hold a jacket overhead.
- • Give the bear an escape route. Never corner a bear.
If Bear Approaches (20-30 feet):
- • Clap, shout, or bang pots to reinforce your size and noise
- • Use bear spray only if the bear charges (within 20 feet)
- • If contact seems imminent: Fight back with anything available. Do not "play dead" with black bears.
After the Bear Leaves:
- • Note where it went and call TTCA Gatehouse (570-646-2550) or PA Game Commission (570-675-1143)
- • Secure all attractants: latch bear-resistant trash cans, bring pet food and grills indoors
- • Report repeat visits to prevent property damage
