Review:
Tucked away on a 140-acre property that includes the 888-foot Bear Mountain Peak, Bear Mountain Reservation offers plenty of excellent hikes for visitors to enjoy. Many of the trails loop around and connect with one another, and most of them are of easy or moderate difficulty.
The one exception is the Orange Trail, a steep path that leads down to the shore of Candlewood Lake and boasts wonderful views of the water. Plenty of parking is available in the reservation's paved parking lot, and there are several shady picnic areas for anyone who would like to simply relax and enjoy the scenery.
