    Hi Jesse,

    I'm planning my first non-summer camping trip in over twenty years. I'm familiar with Bear Mountain and Harriman State Park and have hiked there many times. But, I'm not as familiar with the water sources for overnight (two nights) camping and cooking.
    Can you suggest any trail approaches to any of the Lean To's that have streams for taking water? I plan to treat, filter and or boil for cooking and drinking.
    Any suggestions you can provide are greatly appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Robert
