Black Bear Spotted in Chesaning Park

A black bear cub spotted cruising Showboat Park at night has the Chesaning Police Department sounding the alarm—keep your distance and don’t feed them, especially the young ones. With Michigan’s bear population booming—over 10,000 in the Upper Peninsula and more than 2,000 in the Lower—these sightings are becoming more common even in southern towns like Chesaning, Wayne, and Monroe. Wildlife is expanding its territory, and safe coexistence means admiring from afar. Stay alert, stay safe, and give bears the space they need.
