Fall Bear Aware Walk

Come out to Lion Mountain to learn from People and Carnivores about bear behavior, habitat, safety, and to practice discharging inert bear spray canisters!

Come prepared for a 1 mile hike.

September is Bear Aware Month, and Montana FWP is accepting expired bear spray canisters through the end of the month. Bring your unwanted cans to this event, and we will make sure it gets to FWP for you. Bear spray cannot be thrown in the trash! Don't miss this chance to dispose of bear spray safely and clear up some space in your house or shed.

ACCESSIBILITY: We are happy to chat--please reach out with any questions about accessibility! Lion Mountain Trailhead has accessible parking spots and bathroom set on a gravel surface. We will travel on a single-track, dirt trail that starts at the trailhead and is ~.5 miles long with minimal rocks and roots, and we will end at the Learning Pavilion. This trail can be accessed by walking, using an off road mobility device, and wagons/strollers. For accessibility needs, a car can be driven to the Learning Pavilion as long as there is not snow on the road.

This program is free and family friendly! We know committing to plans can be difficult--your RSVP is appreciated but not required. When you RSVP, be sure to do so for each member of your party and cancel if you change plans.
