Rode this Memorial Day Weelend. Mosquitos were out of control especially early in the day. Be prepared and soak yourself in gasoline, deet, anything > You will need it... As far as the trails go. Solid in everyway although not largely technical not withstanding a few spots. Further out, the less traveled / more technical / but not impossible. Trail maps are not the beast and markings on trail too leave some to the imagination. East side is higher and dryer with more traditional single track. West side is wetter and the trails tend to widen. Locals were helpful in every way. Rode Kindom Trails in East Burke, VT the weekend before. Bear Brook is much closer to Boston and arguably has better and longer trails than East Burke less the downhill on Burke MTN. If you like XC trails and want to spend a solid 4-6 hours, Bear Brook is the best I have seen in the (within 2 hours) Boston area. SP Fee was $4.00 and definately worth it vs the $15.00 at Kindom Trails...

Rode here for the first time today, it was real good, you can just go and get lost in a field of single track dreams. Going to be going back alot.

i have ridden here for years. i can hit this place from my house in 5 miles on the snowmobile trails. It has everything, sick climbs, twisty singletrack,awesome downhills etc. Good for the expert or beginner, and family. i have been all over the park, you can do a 20-mile ride and never hit the same trail, or see anyone else for that matter. Bring a buddy if not familiar with the trail system.

my brother built a house up near bear brook it has been the best trials i have been on so far, even tho im more of a freerider i have to bike for a few hours before i hit my favorite trail but its well worth it, i get to see the great sights and small rivers, open fields and doesnt cost me a dime to get in, (because of my brother living there) i highly suggest to bike there. its awesome

Nearly 10,000 acres, the largest developed Park in NH. A "Day Use" fee of $2.50 is collected at the toll booth (When they are open.)Mountain Biking is widely accepted and encouraged in the park. But, remember this is a conservation area. To preserve trail integrity (and our welcome ;-) and prevent erosion, try to avoid riding muddy trails whenever possible.The park boasts 40 miles of trails leading to seldom visited marshes, bogs, summits and ponds. I still have not explored all of them.For those interested in attaining some height there is Catamount Hill..... Catamount Trial begins off of One Mile Trail and the rocky path climbs 721 Feet in 1/2 Mile to the relatively open summit and ridge.Or, explore Hall Mt trail with a summit at 941 Feet.I scanned a trail map and put it on line at:http://www.geocities.com/shavings_net/BearBrookTrails.jpgDon't forget your insect repellant!Mountian Biking is a welcome activity
