Black bears are rarely aggressive. In 2017 I came within 25’ of one that had raided the trash dumpsters as I was leaving a campground in NW Pennsylvania. I estimate he was around 600 lbs. We looked at each other for a few seconds and he trundled off. The next day I startled one while riding the Pine Creek Trail. It jumped into the creek and swam across. I’ve seen at least 6 white riding in various places. Never a problem. Always a joy.
