Beaver Reservoir to Coney Lake Hike

Route Description for Beaver Reservoir to Coney Lake Hike

The Beaver Reservoir to Coney Lake Hike is a shaded walk through the abundant Colorado woodlands. If you have a sense of adventure and like off-roading it a bit, you will enjoy this hike. The first segments of this trail share a route with ATVs in the summer months, so be aware of passing vehicles. Additionally, there are a few rudimentary bridges across streams and creeks throughout the course of the hike- use your judgement and mind your footing when crossing them. You will fulfill your need for adventure if you conquer this hike!

Starting from the Beaver Reservoir Trailhead, head northwest on the Coney Creek Road. This road is shared with ATVs. Continue along this trail and stay to the right of the first intersection. When you confront the next fork in the road, bear left. The trail will merge back onto the Coney Creek Road before you meet another junction. At this point, veer left onto the Coney Lake Trail- ATVs are prohibited from this junction onwards. Continue along this trail as you intersect with Coney Creek several times. This trail will gradually gain elevation as you hike towards the lake. You will eventually arrive at Coney Lake.

If you still have gas left in the tank, continue along the trail to Upper Coney Lake. If you are ready to head back, retrace your steps to the carpark at Beaver Reservoir.
