Bear Mountain Reservation

Awesome lake view from the red trail. Easy navigation, based off the pic I took of the map. Meadow trail was a tiny bit misleading, but I navigated it just fine anyway. Short hikes and easy trails for kids. Funnest part is that there's a whole lot of exercise rails and set up, at the start of the red trail hike.

Terrific park to visit with plenty of parking spaces with some picnic tables nearby, the park is very clean and well maintained with several different games/ activities to enjoy. The trails and not too difficult to hike and the scenery is very good , definitely worth recommending to anyone looking for a place to visit.

Good area for wandering and pondering, the trail system loops and overlaps several times. There is also an exercise park at the start, good for warming up

If you live in the Danbury area and you are looking for a quiet preserve to hike with small children or dogs, look no further... The park is extremely well marked and maintained and you can decide the amount of miles you want to hike very easily. If you are up to it, I recommend descending to the water. It's a little rocky but the reward is guaranteed. Otherwise, opt for all the other well shaded trails.

Nice place to go to with a variety of trails. I went with my two dogs and they loved it. Make sure you have flea collars of course and avoid going to the fields near the entrance. We made the mistake of going into that field when we were leaving to avoid some dogs that were coming and and my dogs ended up with ticks walking on their legs. They didn’t latch on since both my dogs had their collars, but just be careful
