    BEAR SPRAY RENTALS

    Essential Protection Made Easy

    Glacier National Park is bear country. In partnership with Bear Spray Shack, we proudly host a 24/7 self-service kiosk right at our location—making it easy to rent bear spray for only the days you need it.

    Why Rent?

    Why Should You Rent Bear Spray Instead of Buying?

    Renting bear spray saves money, reduces waste, and guarantees an inspected canister. Rentals start at just $10 at our 24/7 self-service kiosk in East Glacier Park—and you can't take a canister home on a plane anyway.

    Saves Money

    Rentals start at just $10. Buying typically costs $40-70, and you can't take it home on a plane anyway.

    24/7 Availability

    Our self-service kiosk is available around the clock. Grab what you need when you need it.

    Reduces Waste

    Renting keeps canisters in circulation longer instead of ending up in landfills before expiration.

    1

    Know Your Spray

    Remove the safety clip before you need it. Practice drawing from your holster.

    2

    Create a Wall

    Aim slightly downward toward the charging bear. Spray in short bursts creating a cloud between you and the bear.

    3

    Back Away Slowly

    Once the bear retreats or stops, back away slowly. Never run. Leave the area calmly.

    Bear Country Safety

    Glacier National Park is home to both black bears and grizzlies. Bear spray is your best defense, but prevention is even better.

    Make noise on the trail—talk, clap, or use bear bells

    Hike in groups and stay on designated trails

    Store food properly—use bear-resistant containers

    Keep bear spray accessible, not buried in your pack

    Never approach or feed wildlife

    Be extra alert at dawn, dusk, and near water sources
