Clark's Bears

Clark's Bears is a roadside attraction in Lincoln, New Hampshire, where trained black bears perform activities such as shooting basketballs, balancing drums, and riding scooters. Visitors watch these performances from seating areas and see the bears receive vanilla ice cream as rewards afterward.

The site was founded in 1928 as a sled dog ranch before adding bear performances in 1949. This expansion transformed it into a larger family entertainment destination.

The Clark family maintains multiple generations of employees, with 20 family members among the 150 staff operating various shows and attractions throughout the season.

The attraction sits between exits 32 and 33 of Interstate 93 on US-3 and is easy to reach by car. Park hours vary by season, with daily operations during warmer months and reduced schedules during transition periods.

The grounds contain a collection of rare steam logging locomotives that once powered timber operations and run during special events. These historic machines represent different manufacturers and form an unusual feature for a bear show park.
