1: Lots of flat trails, There is one Archery Range, Fishing, Swimming area near pond, Camping in Tents and also Cabins. 2: Cabins are 5 miles away from main campground but offer nice views of the Bear Hill Pond, Showers only at main campground not at Cabins. Pit toilets available near the Cabin Camps. I would prefer staying in tents at main campground since many facilities, trails nearby. Cabins preferred if you don't want to setup tent. 3: Most cabins have 6 people staying capacity with beds and table chairs. Everything was clean. Trail markings could have been better, Many times don't know where to go.

A little bit of something for everyone. Over 50 miles of walking trails, Bike riding , archery range. Rentable hall for occasions. The list goes on. It's a great state park and definitely worth a look. If you want to do walking trails/ horse riding/ or biking. Id suggest going to the podunk Rd. Gate

Does anyone know how far from the trail to the “walk-in” sites? We were looking at one, but I don’t want to carry gear to far. I read that we would park the car at the trail head.

Are there any wheelchair accessible trails in Bear Brook State Park?

william horan | Sep 5, 2020
owzatagain | Sep 5, 2020

Probably depends on the type of chair. Some of them are vehicle tracks through the woods, some are graded. They're well marked on the trail map, the ones marked as trails, probably not. They're narrow, single file, often rocky.

Becka elizabeth | Sep 5, 2020
Geoff Adams | Sep 5, 2020

I'm not sure if there is a dedicated swimming area for dogs or if they are allowed at the beach area but there are plenty of spots to access the water along some of the hiking trails that would be good place for a dog to get in the water without bothering anyone

I know some parks have an Iron Ranger which is for paying on the off-season. I would check signage at the park to see if it's acceptable not to pay. Last I checked, if you didn't pay the Iron Ranger and were caught you could get a trespassing fine.
