Thumbnails to Show You the Way
Please note: Wear good hiking shoes or boots – there are wet and rocky areas on the trail.
- Park near the far-right corner and find the Beaver Creek Trail sign.
- Cross over the wooden bridge and follow the trail. The trees along the trail will have blue and yellow blazes on them. Make sure the lake is on your right.
- Cross a small, wooden footbridge and continue following the trail. You will pass a large, exposed root system from a downed tree.
- Continue past the large, cube-shaped boulder on your left.
- You will come to a stone footbridge; take care as you cross over it and keep following the trail.
- Cross over the wooden boardwalk after the stone footbridge as it leads you through a marshy area.
- Continue on the trail to the next wooden boardwalk and cross over it to the end.
- After this second longer boardwalk, look for the narrow tree on the left. The post is near this tree.
- To return to your vehicle, turn around and retrace your steps back to the parking area.
