Hiking

Beaver Lake Hike

5 miles round trip, 3 hours hiking time

This is a strenuous hike. The trailhead is located south from the shuttle stop along Village Road to Elk Track Road, along the 5 senses trail.

The trail takes you up to the northern edge of the Holy Cross Wilderness, extending up from Beaver Creek. Continue up the trail that often has horseback riders from the resort and head left at the split to cross Beaver Creek on the bridge. The trail merges again and takes you out of the ski boundary into the White Mountain National Forest. About a third of a mile further and you reach the lake. The lake is a nice spot for a picnic, or you can turn around and head back down the mountain to the village for lunch.
