Amazing as always! I went there to wrap presents for my daughters, which is where I used to take them before my ex wife started alienating me in what has now been a two year ongoing stint of parental alienation. Today there were two beautiful blue herons, strutting around and showing off air winged culture. This park is beautiful and a great place to make memories!
A cold wintry stay-at-home day sat me down in front of the computer to search for trails. My search brought up Beartown Lakes Reservation. A nice find and close to home. I visited on a sunny but cool late February day before growth, but the trail was very active that Sunday afternoon. Many dog walkers, all eager to stop and talk and of course each BFF was eager for a pat on the head. The paved multi-use trail around the lake was enjoyable. Trails off the multi-use trail into the woods gave therapy being in a natural environment. Many benches for respit along the trails, and the park has places to to picnic or box lunch to make your visit complete. This is a park to enjoy!
The main lake is extremely clear. There are several sturdy docks. Trails are clean and well marked. Wildlife is abundant. Birds, squirrels and an owl was making itself known. Came to fish, will be back to hike.
I took my boys 4 and 7 to BearTown Lake to fish. They caught 2 small trout and 4 sunfish in 2 hours. They thought it was great! There are some spots along the shores to fish from, but they were getting caught up in the weeds and losing bait too much. The docks are great, just keep an eye on the little guys if they’re not used to the docks without railings. I would love to get out on the lake with a kayak or small row boat.
Beautiful place with a bunch of different hiking paths that circle around three different lakes. Huge turtles in the lakes and tons of black squirrels. There’s trails that go through the woods as well as around the lakes. Nice little pavilion and a bunch of benches line the lake with the hiking paths incase you need a rest or just want to enjoy beautiful scenery. Daunting Pine trees and all kinds of other huge trees with massive trunk circumferences. But I would like to note that I guess I’m biased with this park only because my dog is named “Bear” 🧸🐶
