Beaver Lake — Sunday, Aug. 7, 2022

The trail was pretty and very green and lush, and glimpses of the river and mountains were lovely. The described sturdy bridge had a tree fallen on it about halfway across, and the bridge was boarded up midway, with a sign saying that the trail/viewing point was at an end. I’d love to come back to see the end point with the river and views! Our hike ended up being about 3 miles round trip instead of 4, and we were sad to have missed out on the nice viewing point at the trail end. I’ll come back again someday, and hope there will be a chance for bridge repair!

We were the only car in the parking lot at 10AM on Sunday. We only saw one other group during our whole hike, as we were coming back to the parking area. Perhaps most people knew of other hikes nearby, or knew the bridge was impassable.
