About BearSee
BearSee helps people understand recent bear activity near trails, parks, campgrounds, towns, and trip-planning destinations in Canada.
What a report means
A report is context, not a formal risk rating. Community reports may be unverified. Public-source reports keep their original source link so you can inspect the record yourself.
Area counts use visible reports from the last 30 days within the stated radius, measured from the area centre. Trail counts use visible reports from the last 30 days within 10 km of mapped route geometry when available; otherwise the page labels broader province context.
Locations and sensitivity
Bear locations can be approximate, sensitive, stale, or affected by source-data limits. BearSee may generalize, hide, or remove locations to protect people, private residences, and wildlife.
Limits
No reports does not mean no bears. Always check official closures, warnings, park rules, and local wildlife reporting lines before you go.
