The encounter happened around 11:30 a.m. Saturday, along the Roy Rogers Trail in the Loafer Creek area of the park in Butte County.
Officials said the dog's owner attempted to use bear spray while retreating from the area but was unsuccessful. The couple lost sight of the dog and returned to the parking lot to call authorities.
No people were injured during the incident.
"If in an area that does permit dogs, they must be kept on a leash no longer than six feet and remain under the immediate control of a person at all times," California State Parks said in a statement. "Visitors should be aware that while they are enjoying the beautiful resources Northern California has to offer, they are recreating in an area where bears and other wildlife live."
State parks advises anyone who encounters a bear to remain calm, pick up small children if present, never approach bear cubs, make themselves appear as large as possible and slowly back away while giving the animal plenty of space. Officials also warn visitors never to run, as it can trigger a bear's instinct to chase.
