    This was an absolutely GREAT place to visit for a hike! The 11 miles of trails are really well…read moremarked with maps regularly placed along the trail with little "YOU ARE HERE" bubbles. Great Bear is relatively flat with some ups and downs and a number of one-person wide foot bridges. The River's Landing Loop and the Whiskey Island trail go by the Oswego River, which is beeeeautiful. Near the parking area there is a wheelchair friendly loop called The Apply Trail. The park is multi-use- open to hikers, dog walkers, mountain bikers, horse riders, snowshoes, cross country skiers, swimmers, and fishers. There didn't seem to be any specific activity allotted trails when I was there I would recommend keeping your eyes peeled and ears listening, especially for mountain bikers in the warmer months. There are maybe one or two picnic tables near the map kiosk and benches throughout. It's not necessarily a "picnic area" kind of park. On that note: I didn't see any bathrooms or porta potties. Maybe I missed them? Just something to keep in mind. I'll update this review if I find them on a return trip or someone reading may happily correct me. A small unpaved parking area can be found at the intersection of Hawthorne Rd, Rt 57, and Great Bear Road.

    This could be a great place to run and bike and walk and let your dogs frolic and do the same…read more There's plenty of room for multiple parties to let their dogs roam free and to wander around while giving others some space. You're always going to bump into entitled people who want everything to be their own way so watch out for them. (you know, the people who think they are self-appointed junior police cadets of everyone else's business, etc. because they don't have any personal happiness). But the main concern here is boatloads of ticks. My canine companions were swarmed with them. At first I didn't notice because of their coat color, and then I realized in the car that the one I could see from the driver seat had a ton of hitchhikers walking all over their face and body. Of course then in the car I found some crawling on the seats etc. Kind of makes you wish you didn't live in upstate New York. Harrowing amounts of ticks. Beware.
