"When you’re in the mountains with a mission, it’s like all the superficialities of life just sort of evaporate, and you can often find yourself in a deeper state of mind, and that can stick with you for a while after a big climb. You appreciate everything so much that you take for granted most of the time."
- Marc-André Leclerc
The Bear Hole Reservoir Trail in West Springfield, Massachusetts is an easy 2.6 mile loop hike that runs around the Bear Hole Reservoir. The trail is a gravel access road that is accessible to all skill levels. There are only a few views of the small reservoir along the trail, but the trade-off is a beautiful waterfall with a very large old stone chimney beside it in the northwestern section of the loop. Biking and dogs are both allowed on this trail.
MyHikes is an indie web platform aimed to make exploring public trails easier for everyone.
The site has no investors and is owned and operated by one person, Dave Miller /
Admin .
We share trails, hikes, and backpacking trips on the interwebs for the fun of it on a volunteer basis and believe that public trail information should be available to everyone.

Swatara Creek runs through the vast woodlands of Swatara State Park in eastern Pennsylvania. Bear Hole Trail traces the eastern side of the waterway, while the Swatara Rail-Trail runs along the other bank. Together, they span over 15 miles. Because Bear Hole Trail follows the route of the former Old State Road, it offers a wide pathway and has a few gentle climbs. Along the way, look for remnants of Union Canal that was built here in 1827; the moss-covered ruins of a few stone canal locks can still be seen from the trail.
A trailhead and parking are available at the end of Old State Road at the east end of the Waterville Bridge. From the town of Lickdale, take Monroe Valley Drive to Little Mountain Road and on to Old State Road.
Additionally, other trailheads with parking and informational kiosks are available throughout Swatara State Park, as listed below from south to north.
- Trout Run Trailhead: located on Route 72; a new restroom facility is planned for this trailhead
- State Park Lane Trailhead; a good choice for accessing the park's mountain biking trails
- Sand Siding Road parking lot: located mid-way along Swatara Creek, south of State Route 443
- Swopes Valley Trailhead: located on the northeastern end of the trail, across from Wagner's Pond
