Bear Hill Trail is a scenic loop hike in Vermont that’s located near Randolph, in Allis State Park. Since the path is just over a mile and the highest elevation is close to 400 feet, it’s a great destination for a family outing, nature walk, birdwatching, and taking photos. And, because the trail is open throughout the year, it’s also a popular hike that draws both locals and tourists.

Once you park your car in the lot, walk to the area to the left of the tower to find the trailhead.
