Beaver Lake Nature Center

Beaver Lake is a great leveled trail for those with issues on trails elevation changes. The Lake Loop around lake is about 3 miles and has some great spots to stop and just take in the environment. Very kid friendly given the intermittent trails like Hemlock Hollow or the Woodland trail. Don’t forget to keep an eye open for the frogs in green swampy water. The kids will love to see them poke their heads out.

May is a great time of year for Frogs! The nature center and bathrooms are well maintained with an excellent educational exhibit. Areas for entertainment and a variety of hikes and trails to walk. I recommend snacks and water for the 3mi trail but its mostly flat and lots of great respit areas. $5 per car.

What a great place to hike in the winter! Great trail all the way around the lake, very accessible. About 3 miles around with lots to see. Nature center has nice restrooms, a shop, docents, and a bird viewing area.
