“a sanctuary for several black bears that visitors can see up close”

This is a sanctuary for several black bears that visitors can see up close. Everybody can go around the outdoor habitats, fenced-in and situated on a lake in the woods - a perfect place for bears. It's a large preserve for the orphaned, abused, and last-chance bears in their natural setting. There are usually cubs here too, small enough to touch and take a picture with. Come check it out this summer - it's open daily from late May through September.
