Beaver Lake — Friday, Jun. 21, 2002

North Cascades > Mountain Loop Highway

this easy hike was for us a bit disappointing. the actual beaver created lake is spread out on both sides of the wooden bridge. unfortunately, there is no trail that goes around the lake--so you can't really see the results of the beaver engineering, nor really soak in all of the lake. i felt like we only got a teasing sample. the lake was kind of blanched, so the experience was not all that great. contrast this with ashland lakes which is way more engaging. in summary: go somewhere else...
