It is said that whenever a Black Bear is wounded by hunters, or in battle with another bear or large animal, that the Black Bear will makes the long journey to this mysterious lake. Arriving at the edge of the mountain lake, the Black Bear will plunge into the cool refreshing lake waters on one side of the lake, then swims across the lake to the opposite shoreline. Legend say's when the Black Bear exits on the opposite shore, they're completely healed of all their wounds.

Healing waters are the things of legend and myth that exist throughout the world and other cultures. Possibly the myths concerning the "Fountain of Youth" are a part of this idea of healing waters.
