FULTON – Interpretive panels were put in at Great Bear recently.
The panels were graciously funded by the Fulton Noon Rotary and Rotary District 7150.
One panel explains the topography of Great Bear, being a series of drumlins formed by the last Ice Age.
The second panel acknowledges the NY State Canal System as a Designated Historic Landmark.
Owned by the city of Fulton, town of Volney and the Canal Corporation, Great Bear Springs Recreation Area is located along Route 57 about 3.5 miles south of the Fulton. city line.

The park is open dawn to dusk.
