Bobby...I have not been to Bear Mountain since I was about 10 yrs old.
And...that is many moons ago !
We never actually got past the "suggestion phase" of this trip in the past.
However, I would not be concerned. Being a state park I know there are general use picnic areas which we could ask about at the entrance booth, as we are paying our per vehicle state park entrance fee. Once we enter an area where we have some picnic tables all we should need to do is park our cars. There should be general use BBQ grills as in most state parks within that picnic area as well as bathroom facilities etc. I know there is a lake, they have softball fields, paddle boat rentals , rowboat rentals, fishing, trails, bike rentals, concessions etc. at least that is what the website indicates. I'm guessing all we would be looking for is adequate parking, a place to rest, perhaps grabs some lunch and relax for a while. I can call the park office to inquire about how we may approach the grounds . They are closed now @ 9:30pm. The tel # from the website is
845-786-2701. I have some family matters I'm dealing with at this time.
However, I can reach out for the office during day hours to inquire and ensure we will have no problems finding picnic tables for our group. I would suggest bringing some"cruise night" type folding chairs for our old sorry behinds. That's a given we will need those ! Hey....my guess is we will secure a nice area, hopefully near the lake, relax , eat have some laughs and maybe even see Yogi Bear !
