Boaters Catch Video Of Bear As It Swims Across Maryland Lake

BALTIMORE (WJZ) -- Some boaters in western Maryland are caught off guard by an unexpected sight in the water.

They saw a bear swimming across Deep Creek Lake.

It happened late last week.

The State Department of Natural Resources says if you ever come across a bear, give it space and resist the urge to feed it.

The bear caught on video stayed away from people, and eventually made its way across the lake.
