SaveBear Hill is a decently sized network with a variety of trail difficulties. The majority of the trails are intermediate technical singletrack or wider doubletrack/carriage roads, with a few higher difficulty trails as well. The region encompasses two main hills, Bear Hill and Millstone Hill, one of which is home to the MIT Haystack Observatory. On the far side of the observatory is the trail Hell's Gate, one of the most difficult trails in the local area.
There are many entrances to the trail network, but only some have areas to park. The primary entrance is at the end of Cow Pond Brook Rd (Near the soccer fields).
