The Legend of Black Bear Lake Day Camp, Millstone Township, New Jersey
The Legend of Black Bear Lake Day Camp, Clarksburg, New Jersey - During the great flood of 1610, the Lenape Indians took to their canoes to find higher ground. After searching for many sleepless days and nights, they drifted onto what is now known as Black Bear Lake. The Indians pulled their canoes ashore and set up camp for the night. Legend has it that during the night, while the Indians slept, a Great Black Bear living on top of Black Bear Mountain crept to the canoes. Wanting the tribe to stay, he pushed their canoes into the flowing waters. When the Chief awoke the next morning, he found only the paw prints of the Great Black Bear. Believing this was a sign from the spirits, the Indians made their village at the base of the mountain and from then on were watched over by the Great Black Bear. Although, no one has ever actually seen the Great Black Bear, paw prints are often found on the trails of Black Bear Mountain.
