A black bear has been spotted swimming in North Park Lake. The Pennsylvania Game Commission has been notified and is monitoring the situation.

If you are visiting the park, please use caution and give the bear plenty of space. Do not approach or attempt to interact with the animal. Keep pets leashed and under control at all times.

The best thing you can do is view wildlife from a safe distance and allow it to move through the area undisturbed.

Thank you for helping keep both visitors and wildlife safe.
