Review:
Managed by the Department of Conservation and Recreation, Beartown State Forest spans over 10,000 acres and includes nearly 200 acres of recreational parkland.
The public outdoor space was established in 1921 and was mainly developed by the Civilian Conservation Corps who created many of the forest roads which are still used today.
The forest has many trails, including multi-use ones and those designated for all-terrain vehicles, hiking, horseback riding, mountain biking, snowshoeing, and snowmobiling.
The 1.7-mile trail around Benedict Pond is filled with interpretive displays for visitors to get a better idea of the land and its history.
Additional activities available include picnicking, camping, and restricted hunting.
