    Don’t know if the sign is still there, but the Bear den in the zoo is the “low” point of the entire Appalachian
    Trail.

      The zoo in bear mountain is a sanctuary and rehab for local wildlife. Every animal in there is either being rehabilitated and released or will be cared for because they can't be released back into the wild for various reasons.
