About Bear Track Campground

[](https://www.flickr.com/photos/usfs-hmnf/albums/72157669593116042) Bear Track got its name many years ago from a bear track found while building the site. A 1.5 mile trail connects the campground to the North Country National Scenic Trail. Fishing is a popular activity for this area.
