The Black Bear Loop Trail is a popular trail in Sherburne National Wildlife Refuge. The trail is made of crushed granite and flat, so it is not a challenging walk.

Hiking

This hike is comprised of two separate loops joined by a short connecting trail. There used to be an old wooden country schoolhouse located on the School House Loop, which then was repurposed as a visitor center. Sadly, the original schoolhouse has been torn down. However, it was replaced by a modern visitor center that has information about the refuge as well as plenty of parking and bathroom facilities.
