SUTTON BAY, Mich. (WXYZ) — What a beautiful day for a swim, right?

Residents of Port Sutton Condos, on the north end of the Village, looked out to see a bear swimming onto shore Friday morning.

The bear was captured on video spending some time hanging around the dock and a picnic table before roaming north into the woods.

The Sheriff's Office was notified around 8:30 a.m. of the animal. An Animal Control Deputy was dispatched to monitor the bear until it was safely out of the area.
