Awful, overgrown w/thorny branches, very muddy, trail is iced over, very dangerous. Poor signage- people are arrogant and rudely outspoken about having their dogs off leash, no control. Bad experience in every way! Trip date: Feb 9, 2022

Can you ride a bicycle on the trails here?

I have also seen people mountain biking here, so I believe it can be done and as far as I know, is allowed. As David Glad stated though, it's certainly not an 'easy' trail, and would definitely recommend you have the right gear for the ride on that terrain.

Is anyone in charge of fixing broken blue birds houses at Bear Mtn? Many are in need of repair.

They were built and put there by volunteers, so I don't think there is anyone in charge.
