Confirmed from Beaver Trail Trailhead'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.
Kid-friendly hiking area with a trail around a lake offering water views.
What runners say about Beaver Trail Trailhead
“I hiked it in the fog and it was absolutely gorgeous (and empty!”
Pleasant trail. Easy walk. Will need to return in the spring. Hopefully the reservoir level will be higher.
Beaver Tail Trail is 1.25 miles one way and closely circumnavigates the northern part of Long Pine Run Reservoir. I hiked it in the fog and it was absolutely gorgeous (and empty!). Plenty of spots to hang out and grab a bite, have a rest, be inspired. I hiked here from the Rocky Knob Trailhead (parked my car here).
A great easy one way trail that has a lake view, loved it, nice hike, barely any other people, the roads are gravel, but other than that a really great experience.
Love this trail! It's a beautiful walk along the water any time of year. Trailhead is clearly marked. Yellow blaze.
