Beaver Lake Trail, Mountain hiking trail near Avon, Colorado.
Beaver Lake Trail is a hiking route through White River National Forest near Avon that passes through mixed forest and alpine terrain. The path winds through varied landscapes with open ridges and forested sections that change character as you ascend.
The landscape was shaped during the last ice age by glacial movement that carved the terrain and left geological marks visible today. These natural formations remain embedded in the mountainous environment visitors encounter on the trail.
The trail connects to the Village to Village network, forming part of an integrated system that links Colorado mountain communities through recreational pathways.
Access the trail by parking near Beaver Creek facilities and following the Five Senses Trail connector to reach the starting point. The best conditions occur from late spring through early fall when snow has melted and the route is passable.
The route crosses a bridge over Beaver Creek before entering dense forest and leading toward the West Grouse Creek Trail junction. This crossing marks a transition where the path moves between different zones of the mountain environment.
