Aggressive Bear at South Yuba Recreation Area
We were camping near the south fork of the yuba this weekend, arrived Saturday morning. Beautiful small campsite near the yuba river about a mile and a half hike to the river or so. When we hiked down to the river Sunday afternoon we saw a sign stating there is a mama bear with 2 cubs who was being aggressive and charging people. Not scared of humans & exhibiting odd behavior. We thought we better be extra careful (all food was in a bear locker already the whole time) & extra alert when we were cooking dinner that night. After we cooked dinner we heard a huge commotion a few campsites down so I went to go check it out. I figured out on the way there they were most likely scaring away a bear, confirmed it with a neighbor and went back to let my campsite know. The bear reportedly approached a couple eating and ate food directly off of their table while they were sitting at it. The bear was stalking the 4-5 campsites up against the treeline. We got the dogs in the car and packed up as quickly as possible and left to be safe. Just wanted anyone who might be visiting the area soon to be aware and stay safe!
