Three Forks of Beaver Trail

Three Forks of Beaver Trail provides hikers with a true wilderness experience. The 0.5 mile trail meanders along an old roadway in a southeasterly direction and then follows Beaver Creek to the Three Forks of Beaver. Notice the change in vegetation as the trail leaves the ridgetop and continues below the cliff to its intersection with Middle Ridge Trail in the heart of Beaver Creek Wilderness.
