WTA is a nonprofit that needs you

We're just as excited as you to get the summer hiking season started. We're psyched our website, app and work for trails help you get outside.

But we're a nonprofit that runs on donations from regular people. If everyone who visited this site this holiday weekend donated $9/month, it would fully fund our work for the next 2 years. Time spent outdoors is priceless, but every donation large or small helps us support those experiences for everyone. Thank you and happy hiking!

Hiking Beth Lake

This lakeside trail begins in Beaver Lake Campground and travels 1.9 flat miles to Beth Lake, offering opportunities to view fish and waterfowl including the Common Loon.

From the trailhead near campsite 4 in the Beaver Lake campground, look for a sign about 40 feet off the road, near a small stream.

From the sign, take off on a trail contouring the hillside just above Beaver Lake. Continuing on to the left, you'll pass along the back side of the lake, then pass through Beth Lake Campground.

Continuing on, arrive at a small earthen dam near the north end boat launch. Cross the dam and follow the trail around to the far side of Beth Lake.
