Hidden Paradise!

We absolutely loved this little lean-to next to Bear Mountain. I'll make this review short, as we also stayed at the Brassie Brook lean-to which is located only about a mile apart from each other. The Brassie Brook was actually on the way to Riga and offers a very similar experience. Riga has the lean-to as well as about 4 or 5 sites all around. There's no picnic tables at the other spots but there is one for the lean-to. Carry out all your trash, but there are toilets. We had an awesome experience and would 100% love to return. Last thing; make sure to hit the summit of Bear Mountain; incredible view!
