How likely is it to run across a bear in Old Forge? Chances are good you'll see one, especially if you leave food or trash out.

Yesterday we discovered a car torn apart after a bear was locked inside. Today, Christina Oneil sent video of a bear that roamed into her camp at Old Forge Camping Resort.

The DEC says “New York’s black bear population is expanding, causing more bear-human interactions.” Sara Ellen Stamboly Warner knows all too well after a bear broke into her car on July 27th.

Campers are being reminded to leave the bears alone. They may look cute but they can also be dangerous. Town of Webb police officers advise people to keep trash bins clean and food locked up and out of sight to avoid bear encounters in the Adirondacks. “They are there but we can’t bother them.”
