how many cabins on Bear Island?
Does anyone have an estimate of the number of cabins ("camps" but not Camp Lawrence) on Bear Island?
thanks |

Estimate
The Meredith Assessing Department has a full list of properties on the web. I used this list (link below) and found roughly 225 lots listed on Bear. Take off a good dozen for conservation and YMCA camp properties, maybe another 20 that are assessed at $0 for buildings, and that gives you a reasonable estimate. If you have the time, you can sort the list to further refine that count.

I've always said 175 houses, but that is an estimate - and there has been new construction in recent years.

Mailboxes
Found this online image of the 'north end' mailboxes; I'd say 80 is a good estimated count for these metal mail repositories. And the NatGeo article that blog links to has the island's cottage count at 184:
http://ngm.nationalgeographic.com/ng.../fulltext.html Some of us get island mail at the East Bear mail dock. And some have island mailboxes (with Bear Island addresses) on the mainland, such as at Cattle Landing. |
