Black Bear Viewing at the Vince Shute Wildlife Sanctuary - The American Bear Association

The Vince Shute Wildlife Sanctuary operated by the American Bear Association in Orr, Minnesota is often described as the best place to see wild black bears in their natural habitat, and for good reason. From our expanded viewing deck visitors can learn about black bears by observing their natural behavior.

In the summer of 2007, almost 20,000 people visited the Vince Shute Wildlife Sanctuary to see the black bears and learn about their true nature. We are open until Labor Day 2008.
