Great Bear Short Loop

Follow a series of arrows blazed white with red stripes in a clockwise direction for mellow singletrack that takes you through old tree farms and past abandoned buildings. The structures date back from the time the area was used to collect and bottle spring water. Start out by heading west down the dirt road and the River's Landing Loop. At the first intersection, continue on the trail as it bends to your left following the arrows. Though there are many blazed trails, the red and white arrows will show you the way for the rest of the route.The entire loop follows enjoyable, shaded singletrack, though it can be muddy at times. Always be alert for other users and especially horseback riders, who deserve the right of way. Trails are well maintained and most creeks and boggy areas have bridges. Each trail is well marked.
