Beaver Lakes Trail

Beaver Lakes Trail (604) connects Snow Springs Trail (605) and Devil Mountain OHV Trail (600). From Snow Springs Trail, Beaver Lakes Trail drops off into Beaver Lakes Valley, then climbs to Devil Mountain Trail (600). Expect some nice smooth sections and some not-so-nice eroded sections. Route finding through the meadow sections can be tough. The trail is for the more adventurous hiker that wants to make a longer hike with the Snow Springs Trail (605) and get away from the crowds.

The route from Snow Springs Trail descends 460 feet and climbs 1,150 feet to the junction with Devil Mountain Trail.

This trail is popular with mountain bikers.

  • Distance (one-way):  4 miles
  • Minimum elevation: 8,330 feet
  • Maximum elevation: 9,250 feet
