The Shadow Of The Bear
Jerry Jaynes, our on-site photographer, took this phenomenal photo of The Shadow of the Bear last October. He gave permission to use the photograph to Julie Spiro, Jackson County Chamber of Commerce, to promote Jackson County tourism. To Jerry's great surprise and delight, the picture was picked up by the Associated Press and is now widely published (Google jerry jaynes ap). The shadow has also been featured in the news on WLOS, Asheville, NC. Congratulations Jerry!
The Shadow Of The Bear
Rhodes Big View Overlook on Hwy. 64 at Whiteside Mountain
Between Cashiers and Highlands, NC
The shadow, caused by Whiteside Mountain, is visible between 5:30 - 6:00 PM the last half of October and into early November. It is again visible the last half of February into March. The 750 feet tall cliffs of Whiteside, are the highest sheer cliffs in the eastern United States. That should give you some idea of how large the bear is.

The Staff of Bear Lake Reserve wishes to thank all the owners and guests who attended our Labor Day Celebration, September 4, 2010. The food was supurb and the band, Bayou Diesel was excellent. People joined in and played with the band, danced, and had a wonderful time. Anyone who was unable to attend certainly missed out on a great event.
Our next event, Oktoberfest, is planned for October 16, 2010. Plans for a children's fishing tournament, family portraits for Christmas cards, pumpkin patch, live music, great food, and other activities are being finalized for this event. Start making plans now to attend. Information will be posted here as it becomes available.
