Over 9 miles of maintained walking trails across gentle and varied terrain invite you to restore your connection to the earth. Beaver Lake's 600 natural acres are the perfect setting for family fun or solitary renewal.
Lakeview Trail - 0.3 miles- the expressway to the Beaver Lake shore.
Hemlock Hollow - 0.4 miles -the name itself suggests what you will find - a cool and shaded hide-away.
Pine Meadow - 0.5 miles - An isolated meadow shielded by pines on one side and a mixed forest on the other makes a storybook setting for rabbits, woodchucks and deer.
Bog - .6 miles - Our elevated boardwalk is your invitation to visit a habitat different from any other you may have experienced. Yellow warblers declare ownership from the tops of spindly alders, while insect-eating pitcher plants and lady's slipper orchids grace the soggy floor.
Deep Woods - 1.4 miles - this trail affords hikers a long and meandering walk through the serenity of a maturing forest.
Three Meadows - 1.5 miles - Daisies dancing on warm breezes will put extra spring in your step as you cross sunny fields before enjoying the cool respite of the forest.
Lake Loop Trail - 3.0 miles
