Matanoagawa Dam 반달가슴곰 출몰 정보

Matanoagawa Dam was jolted by a fresh sign of bear traffic on April 28, 2026, when 1 black bear left multiple fresh scratch marks on rocks and trees along the Daisen Falls walking track. Just a day earlier, on April 27, 2026, another 1 black bear was witnessed on the China Nature Trail about 900 m from the Kawadoko trailhead, showing that this area is still very much in play.

The busiest ground has been around Daisen, especially Tatarado, Onoike Pond, and the China Nature Trail side of the hills, with the sharpest wave of activity coming in November 2025 at 17 reports and October 2025 at 12. Across this area, there have been 165 black bear sightings in total, and the recent spring reports follow a long run of fall movement rather than a quiet winter fade.
