We are making progress clearing trails after the storm. Here is where we suggest hiking. Please note that even cleared trails are still difficult with deep snow and areas of slush.

A black bear has been sighted at Paskamansett Woods. Please keep dogs on leash.

Black bear attacks are very uncommon and they rarely become aggressive when encountered. If you do encounter a bear, talk loudly in a calm voice and back away slowly. Do not approach the bear. Keep your dog on leash and never allow them to chase or interact with bears. While hiking be observant of your surroundings to prevent any unwarranted interactions.

If you do encounter a bear, talk loudly in a calm voice and back away slowly. Do not approach the bear. Keep your dog on leash and never allow them to chase or interact with bears. While hiking be observant of your surroundings to prevent any unwarranted interactions.
