Friends of Great Bear is made up of residents of Oswego County, interested in the conservation and protection of the Great Bear Recreation Area. This unique area is owned by the City of Fulton and the Town of Volney. A diversity of flora and fauna, varying terrain and the Oswego River and Oswego Canal make Great Bear a great place for non-motorized recreation such as hiking, mountain biking and cross-country skiing.
In cooperation with the City of Fulton, Town of Volney and private land owners, we are advocates for the preservation and protection of this natural environment, so that the public may share and make use of the property wisely as a recreational resource. With help from local businesses, this past season; four new bridges have been built, trails marked, and a trail map of the area developed and posted.
The Great Bear property is located between Fulton and Phoenix New York on Route 57. Parking and the entrance to Great Bear are at Route 57 and Great Bear Road.
Big project for 2011 was the new 440 Ridge trail (over 1 mile long) that allows an alternative to taking the tolley track road - There is a great new all single track loop out the Long Trail and back. Here is a map showing where it is.
Please remember not to leave valuables in your vehicle.
