What you should do
Your safety and well-being is our top priority at Unicoi State Park. Wild bears will typically keep their distance from approaching humans. However, a bear’s natural behavior can change if fed human food or garbage. Fed bears can become aggressive and may have to be killed for public safety. For your protection, wildlife laws will be enforced.
