Bear Mountain, once home to Native Americans and early settlers,
had evolved by the 20th century into one of the nation's most
outstanding public parks. Threatened by quarrying operations and
the relocation of Sing Sing Prison, this integral section of the
Hudson Highlands was saved by the combined efforts of local
citizens and the Palisades Interstate Park Commission. Graced by a
deep, picturesque lake at the foot of the mountain and accessible
by riverboat, train, and automobile, Bear Mountain State Park
became a playground for New York City residents. Visionary park
management enabled the park to expand, encompassing nature
exhibits, a zoo, camps, and restaurants. It continues to be a
year-round recreation center featuring hiking, boating, swimming,
and cross-country skiing.
