Bear Mountain

Bear MountainFor those of you who love the outdoors and are sick of jogging through Central Park, take an hour drive up north to Bear Mountain, where you'll find an abundance of hiking, swimming, fishing, and biking activities. Bear Mountain State Park is host to dozens of trails, picnic areas, river access, swimming pool, and a zoo. Stay in Bear Mountain Inn, where Eleanor Roosevelt, Harry Truman, and Dwight Eisenhower once stayed. An average night costs $150, and this is the perfect spot for those who are hyper but can't take their frustration out on the city.
