Discoveries at Bear Brook State Park

March 25, 2015March 25, 2015 Colleen O'Connell Leave a comment

The sky was dreary and it was snowing when I entered Bear Brook State Park. Yet I was excited to be outside even if the weather wasn’t ideal. Bear Brook is a place where natural beauty meets human achievement. You can spend an afternoon in Catamount Pond or hiking the miles that span the park. […]

Ponding Adventures

September 18, 2014September 17, 2014 Discover Power of Parks SCA Interpreters Leave a comment

Earlier this spring, all of your Discover the Power of Parks interpreters were introduced (or re-introduced) to an activity that would become the ‘bread-and-butter’ program of some of our summers. We were handed nets that smelled vaguely of pond water, three white plastic bins, and a dicotomous key with some strange and slightly frightening creatures […]

10,000 Acre Backyard

Never in my life, would I have imagined that I would find myself calling 10,000 acres in New Hampshire “home”. But that’s exactly what Bear Brook State Park has become, my home, at least for a little while. I landed in Manchester’s airport in early January, off of a flight that was many hours late. […]

Little Hall for the beginning of Fall

September 16, 2013September 16, 2013 Mairead Dunphy 1 Comment

In the past six years, I’ve tried my best to tackle all 40 miles in trails at Bear Brook State Park, for the lack of time between jobs and interruptions kept me at a couple hours of hiking every two weeks it seemed. This past week though,  I succeeded!  My last trek was to Hall […]

Finding the Lost Shelter of Bear Brook

In the 1930’s the Civilian Conservation Corps constructed many buildings within Bear Brook including cabins, pavilions, and shelters.  One of these shelters remains a hidden gem waiting to be discovered by those who are willing to venture off the beaten path.  I came across the Lost Shelter back in January and have struggled to find […]
