BEAR ALERT-PLEASE READ (I didn't take this picture) BEAR UPDATE: Fowler’s Campground, on the Shasta McCloud Management Unit on the U.S. Forest Service - Shasta-Trinity National Forest, is closed until further notice due to an assertive black bear that continues to roam the campground. Forest Service employees plan to “deep clean” the campground in hopes of removing remnants of food smells, all trash, etc. to eradicate the temptations that kept the bear coming around.
Forest visitors please be BEAR AWARE! Help take proper steps to minimize bear encounters by doing the following: Keep a clean campsite by properly disposing of food scraps and garbage at ALL times. Never leave food or coolers unattended OR out in the open (i.e. on picnic tables). Do not leave dog food out ever. Store food and garbage inside a vehicle or camper trailer at all times.
