It's been over fifteen years since moving from New York to Ohio. But on every visit to NY I make sure to stop at Bear Mountain State Park. It's one of the most amazing natural places to visit when you are in NY.
I know New York is famous for it's buildings, but the surreal natural scenic wonders an hour or so away from New York city get ignored most of the time.
If you ever visit New York, make sure to visit Bear Mountain, the seven lakes, and other natural and historical locations present around the state.
I have chosen a few images from google for Bear Mountain, I am not that good at taking amazing pictures like these. We are in the summer season where everything is green and blue, but in the fall, Bear mountain wears an amazing dress of beautiful colours.
Superb, pristine nature. What kind of camera are you using?
It captures the details of the water very well :)
I know I replied to you, but my comment disappeared. Is this an issue right now?
did you see my previous comment?
Yes @claritypavilion, I would also love to know which camera was used for these shots! they are amazing!!
It looks like one of the landscape paintings by an artist of a imaginary place that looks like a perfect spot for vacation. very good picture even if it is from google search still outstanding views. I hope to travel to NY and check out the stop at Bear Mountain State Park
Bear Mountain looks absolutely beautiful.
The reflection on the water looks so alluring.
Great Shots!
Looks like a beautiful place, especially as the leaves turn color.
Wow, first day on the site and I run into a post that rehashed so many memories! I used to live in NY and the wife and I loved to go Cycling at this park. Such a beautiful place to ride your bike, not for the novice though, the hills there can be TOUGH!! thanks for the memories! miss this place.
Definitely not for the novice...man seeing this post makes me want to go back there today.
Did you happen to walk the stone staircase built into the mountain? By the end of that hike i was sweating my ass off
Actually we never hiked the park, we just rode endless miles there and wife did a couple Triathlons there. I never raced that course to hard for me hahaha, but i did enjoy watching ppl try to fly up the hills. =) The look on their faces was priceless!
Man my first car a Toyota used to struggle up those hills lol, you must have legs of steel to bike up those roads.
Rockland county has a few places worth visiting, I am glad I lived in the area.
Trust me, i was Hurting just like your Toyota! But i had a couple friends that would ride next to me (the climb was nothing to them) talking their ass off, i had to tell one of them to F off one time because i thought i was going to die. LOL
Those are nice pics. I love the outdoors.
ny is nice during warm months.
Holy moly! Are these colours real? They look otherwordly. My cam could never capture the quality of these pictures.
That seems like a very peaceful-for-the-soul kind of place.
a beautiful place
We can feel the coolness of nature
Colorful leaves that make the heart so peacefull
There is clear water
Can feel the natural energy
I am very glad that you have shared your experience of a beautiful place
I really want to visit that place
thank you
Even more beautiful than I remember from my childhood days! As a Puerto Rican kid growing up in Spanish Harlem, Bear Mountain and The 7 Lakes were the place to go. Later in life, it became a thing to go hang out in City Island. At least for my siblings. 3 gone now.Still 4 of us left. Memories are almost all I have left. Thanks for sharing.
Bear mountain is such a great place, i did not heard it before. the pictures you have posted are really amazing i can just imagine how much fun it would be there to be in Bear mountain. Very beautiful pictures with random colors of tree, awesome man awesome.

My goodness! I thought the title read BEER Mountain :'-D and my 1st thought was "where is this, I must go!" Haha. Beautiful place - regardless of there being no beer!
Wow! I have been living in Dubai and one of the things I miss the most is seasons. Dont get me wrong, Dubai has some beautiful deserts. But the colors of the leaves are breath taking!
I'm jealous.. Absolutely great shots you've got a hold of! Bear Mountain is worth the trip.

Beautiful photos, our family would travel from New Jersey to Michigan every summer to see our cousins back in the 60s and on the way back one year we went through Canada to Niagara Falls and then on to the Catskills of New York and it was a beautiful trip.
