Originally posted by lexusk8 To anyone interested: I'm heading out to Bear Mountain Park in Bear Mountain, NY this afternoon with a friend to scope it out and see if it has potential for a CL meet. I'll take pics there too. If anyone would like to check it out too, we'll be there.

Yeah, I went there on Saturday, and it looks better than the pics I've seen. I took some pictures but they're at home, so I'll have to upload them later tonight. There's this one drive we went on that ends at a scenic area with an excellent overview of the Hudson River, plenty of parking, and a tower where you can see the parked cars. Only problem was the somewhat bumpy road, might not be pleasant for us who have rims and lowered kits Personally, I think Bear Mtn has potential for a CL meet, but I didn't stay there long enough to check out area(s) to have a picnic or BBQ, and more photo opps.
Hey Mike, did you go out there on Sunday? If so, what did you think?

Yeah it has a few bumps, my 20's can handle it though. Mike was home all day with his fam. so I don't think he made it. The entire area is a great area.....especially for photos *cough* with my new Canon Powershot G3 *cough*
So is Bear Mtn a good place to hold a CL meet on Sunday the 29th? I don't have a problem with it since I was out there over the weekend, and satisfied with the view and surroundings. We still have less than 2 weeks to figure out
Alright guys, if you want me to take the lead on this joint, I'll be more than happy to do that. I did some more research and found a recreation area off of exit 17, Palisades Pkwy, where we could have a BBQ (grills available) or picnic. In addition to some of the scenic drives in Bear Mtn Park, the 15-mile Seven Lakes Drive is probably the closest thing to the infamous Deal's Gap drive in N. Carolina. That should make for some excellent photo shoots
I will create a new thread showcasing more info of the Bear Mtn meet.

Are you talking about Franklin D. Roosevelt Park? I had first suggested that as the first place for our first NE meet.

future, the recreation area I'm referring to is indicated below, right off of Palisades Pkwy. I think this is a good location for us to start since that's central to most of the drive-out spots we can hit. 7 Lakes Drive is shown on the map as the double-ended arrow, and Bear Mountain Park is at the intersection of Palisades and 9W.
