Beaver Lake — Thursday, May. 24, 2001

North Cascades > Mountain Loop Highway

This is a great trail for those looking for an easy hike to a beaver free lake. The route, to the lake, appears to be an old railroad grade. Except for a few muddy places, it remains obstruction free. The lake is bisected with a wondrous feat of engineering: a three feet wide wooden bridge. The small lake was full of birds and insects. I consumed the entire return hike wondering where all the beavers were.
