Route Description for Beaver Mountain Trail
If you are wanting to experience the rugged beauty of the mountains but can’t be bothered to set out on a long or arduous journey, then the Beaver mountain Trail will be the perfect route for you to explore. This short excursion features fairly laid back terrain and scenic views, making for an enjoyable afternoon on the trails. Setting out from the trailhead, you will make your way to the southeast along a small stream and begin climbing uphill through the woodland landscape.
