We have black bears and grizzly (brown) bears that often make their way through town. Come to Stewart and you’re almost sure to see a bear of some kind!

Along your 65 km (40 miles) drive from Meziadin into Stewart, many beautiful glaciers can be seen from Highway 37A. Descending towards Strohn Lake and Bear River Pass is the Bear Glacier. Ice once reached across the road to the rock face, but once it started receding in the 1940’s, it created what is now called Strohn Lake. Stop at this viewing point and take in the breathtaking views of the glacier and the rich forestry surrounding it.
