Beaver Lake Reflections

Beaver Lake is a medium sized lake surrounded by old growth forest and bogs sitting at an elevation of 440 feet on a lower bench of Bear Mountain. The trail is accessed from the Blue Lake Campground. For those that can make it up the first section of switchbacks that go up the steep hillside, it provides a nice hike with the possibility of some spectacular views of the nearby mountains.
Seasons: Early Spring through Late Fall
Year-round hiking of this trail is possible, but public access along Blue Lake road is limited to foot and bicycle traffic during the winter months. At times the road may be impassable or dangerous even to foot traffic due to avalanches (especially in late winter and early spring). The trail may be quite icy during the winter.
