Confirmed from Beaver Lake Preserve's own listing, the park or land manager's website, and runner reviews. Blank cells mean we could not verify that fact — we would rather say "not reported" than invent one. There is no Easy / Moderate / Hard rating on this page on purpose: a one-word difficulty score tells you nothing about whether a trail suits your run. Surface, distance, shade and hours do.
Park offering tranquil trails for hiking and biking, plus native art installations.
What runners say about Beaver Lake Preserve
“Only reason I didn't give this 5 stars is because there are no great views/overlooks.”
“Wonderful little trail system, well marked and quiet and beautiful!”
“Very nice, peaceful place to hike, walk a dog, and chill out on the hot day.”
“Lovely and easy trail to touch the beautiful nature.”
Beautiful place with trails for hikes or bikes. Nice view of the lake and native art installations. There seems to be a meeting room as well other facilities that look to be available to reserve.
This is an excellent preserve that abuts Soaring Eagle Park. It consists of wooded gravel trails. There are a number of streams and a large lake with very little public access.
Great area for walking and biking. Trails are maintained shortly after big storms. Only reason I didn't give this 5 stars is because there are no great views/overlooks. Definitely worth exploring
Very nice, peaceful place to hike, walk a dog, and chill out on the hot day.
