How does watching a wild black bear in his natural environment sound? Visit these incredible animals at the Vince Shute Wildlife Sanctuary and learn a lot about their life.

Generations of black bears still visit the former homestead, now designated as The Vince Shute Wildlife Sanctuary. The American Bear Association, a non-profit organization, was formed to manage the sanctuary in order to promote a better understanding of the black bear through education, observation and experience.

Did you know that the full moon in January is often referred to as the "bear moon"? Bear cubs are generally born in January. For this kind of information and more, visit the North American Bear Center located in Ely, MN.

The North American Bear Center is the only black bear and wildlife educational facility of its kind. Dedicated to replacing old myths with facts, it lets people learn from the bears themselves about bear behavior, ecology, and their relations with humans.

Visit the International Wolf Center in Ely during your stay here. Its about 45 minutes away from the resort, but if you want to learn more about these wonderful and intelligent animals you should stop by.
