Bears have adapted to living near people, are you willing to adapt to living near bears?
At Lakemont U on August 12, Georgia Department of Natural Resources wildlife biologist Ryan Watts taught us about the habitat and behavior of Rabun County’s healthy bear population. We often see bears around the lake, and Ryan provided data-driven information to help safely manage bear-human interaction. Bear conflicts are different due to bears’ unique biology, behavior, and how they are perceived by humans.
To minimize conflicts, it is essential that bears not become habituated to humans. Here is a summary slide that informs actions you might take to minimize the risk of a bear-human conflict. More information may be found at the website www.BearWise.org.
We thank Ryan Watts for his excellent presentation!

Here are five tips for driving riders on Lake Rabun.
Whether you’re surfing, wakeboarding, skiing, or tubing, these tips will give everyone on the Lake a better experience.
The focus of this video is… Distance. Direction. The points. The turnaround. And weight.
We’re going to focus on distance 200ft away. We’re going to focus on direction one end of the lake to the other. We’re going to turn wide at the points and make sure that we keep everybody safe. We’re going to really focus on the turnaround and Lastly, we’re going to focus on our weight.
Make sure we drop our weight while we’re cruising around the lake.
We hope that you found these five tips helpful, and please feel free to start implementing them when enjoying your time out on the lake.
