Tips to living and visiting areas where bears inhabit. Know that bears are always looking for food, especially this time of year. Bears have noses that can smell food from a mile away and have the tastebuds of the average two-year old; they’ll eat just about anything, including stuff that’s not even food. Some simple guidelines from our vacation tips bulletin will keep bears out of your vehicle, your home away from home and your garbage, leftovers and picnic lunch.
Guidelines to follow:
- Don’t feed the bears. Keep all food and trash stashed and latched, away from a bear’s reach.
- Never approach bears, stay in your vehicle or keep a safe distance away
- When driving, stay alert, stick to the speed limits, watch for animal crossing zones and signage. Be especially alert at dawn and dusk.
- Lock all vehicle doors and close windows all the way.
- Know what to do if you see a bear. Carry bear spray and know how to use it.
- Keep dogs securely leashed.

Discover the “Land Beside the Water”

Photo Credits to Dave Allen Photography

Oconee County is located in the northwestern corner of Upstate South Carolina and borders the mountains of North Carolina and Northeast Georgia. OCONEE is a Cherokee word meaning “Land beside the water.” A fitting name for a place blessed with multiple lakes, rivers, streams and 150+ waterfalls!

Popular outdoor destinations in Oconee County include:

Lake Hartwell, Lake Keowee, Lake Jocassee, the federally-designated Wild and Scenic Chattooga River, the Sumter National Forest, the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains, and Jocassee Gorges – one of only two rainforests in North America!
