Yes, there are definitely bears at Lynx Lake! In fact, the U.S. Forest Service has a special program in place to help manage the bear population in and around the lake. If you're planning on spending time in the area, it's important to be aware of how to avoid run-ins with these potential predators.
Here are a few key things to keep in mind:
1) Bears are attracted to food sources, so be sure to properly store all food items (including garbage) away from campsites and sleeping areas.
2) Never approach or attempt to feed a bear - this can lead to aggressive behavior.
3) If you do encounter a bear, remain calm and slowly back away while avoiding direct eye contact.
