Virtual Tour: Beaver Lake Trail

The Beaver Lake Trail is a 2.5 mile, moderate difficulty hiking trail that is accessible near the CCC museum. The trail is an interesting tour that closely follows the shoreline of Beaver Lake. The trail features shady overlooks of the lake and minimal elevation change. The moderate difficulty rating comes primarily from a few sections where exposed tree roots cross the path, forming obstructions to the unwary traveler. Roughly half way around the lake, an old mill site is visible. Several boardwalks and overlooks provide ample views of the lake and wetlands, where signs of beaver activity may be spotted. From the Beaver Lake Trail, hikers may access the Third Branch Trail and the Ground Pine Trail.
