Bear Wallow in the Adirondacks

Stumbled across this awesome little spot while hiking in the Central Adirondacks. Here's a little sample of some of the videos from this summer, hope you enjoy!

Awesome video of black bears in the Adirondacks. Especially enjoyed watching the bear sit in the water and appear to ponder some great bruin issue. I seldom see bears in my travels through the Adirondacks, so it is nice to get an up-close view of them. Thanks for sharing.

Defenatly don't want to setup camp around that pool of water! Seems to be a popular "Jacuzzi" for bears.

[@phillymathguy8142]

All that beautiful, crystal clear water in the Adirondacks and the bears pick that muddy pit. Go figure! Maybe the dry mud helps keep the bugs off them?

The wallow seems to be most active from the Mother’s Day to Father’s Day timeframe, which coincides with peak black fly season.

That was great to watch. Thanks for posting. Was that a trail cam you set up?

[@zacgosselin6601]

Yes it was, a Reconyx XR6!

[@snugbug5067]

I see the ferns aren't trampled by any animals there. No through traffic. I wonder why ! That 2nd bear was HUGE !!

[@loriannlove3761]

BEAR ARE MY FAVORITE MOST OF ALL BLACK BEAR.

[@PeterNordBushcraft]

I love bear. I know where there is a spot like that. I should put a cam up to see what goes there.

Black bear live water and that pbj sandwich in your backpack.

[@mhopkins491]

where wss that taken

[@zacgosselin6601]

Minerva/Newcomb area.

Not a single bird or squirrel was seen in the background at anytime in this video. I don't think I've ever looked at a spruce forest and not seen birds landing on trees and flying by.

[@DimaKislitsyn]

I hiked Dix Mnts yesterday and also noticed very little birds and squirrels presence, not sure why. May be high elevation? May be not enough food since looks like most trees are birch and hemlock.
