Are There Bears Around Quabbin Valley?
Okay I admit people realize there are a few bears scattered throughout the Commonwealth but most think of the Berkshires not necessarily the area around Quabbin Valley.
Many folks visit the Quabbin Valley area throughout the year to partake in all the region has to offer. When you stop and consider how great the fisheries of Quabbin Reservoir and the Swift River are combined with the numerous other outdoor recreational activities available, it is little wonder why the region is so popular.
Beyond fishing, one of the other magnets is the diversity of wildlife that is scattered through the hillsides of the valley and around the shores of the reservoir. Deer, turkeys, bald eagles, waterfowl, birds, varmints and yes even black bear might be seen around each bend or as you cross the hilltops …
As a matter of fact, here is a video showing a black bear swimming across one of Quabbin’s many coves just a few months ago …
Now that you’ve see this Quabbin Reservoir bear video, you’ll definitely know the answer to the question …
Are there really bears in the hills of the Quabbin Valley?
Absolutely!
