“Bear at Babbling Brook"” (by "Froggie" of the Limekiln Loons)

From the south, take Route 28 north past Old Forge & Eagle Bay about 10 miles, then just north of Inlet past the laundromat. Turn at the next right onto the Limekiln Road... the IVES(Inlet Volunteer Emergency Services) facility is on the corner.

From the north, take Route 28 south about 10 miles from Raquette Lake, turning left onto the Limekiln Road just past the Inlet Golf Club... the IVES(Inlet Volunteer Emergency Services) facility is on the corner.

Proceed up the hill & over the summit, ~2.5 miles total, past the Campsite Road and the former Marie's Pie Shop/Limekiln Chalet A-Frame building in the clearing on the left.

Nearing the end of Limekiln Road just past the old Ranger's house on the left, there is a dirt road left turn into the Moose River Plains, don't take this left, take the next immediate left onto the paved Parkhurst Road(Limekiln Road continues down to the lake, now visible).

Take Parkhurst to the end and park in the parking lot or along the road. Walk up the gravel driveway that is the continuation of Parkhurst Rd. You will be passing through private property. Please be respectful. The gravel driveway ends at a green garage on the left and the wooded trail continues through a stand of small boulders at this point.

Stay on the trail until you get to the Babbling Brook bridge. Just before crossing the bridge, there is a many-trunked tree on the left. Take a step or two past this tree and look left into the woods towards the brook. There is a tall old birch stump 10-15 steps into the woods. Baby Bear is behind this stump under leaves and rocks.
