Beaver Bay Campground and Day Use
Campground and Day use—camping, picnicking, swimming, water sports
Last Friday of April through Sept. 30, 6 a.m.-9 p.m.
This larger camping and day use site offers 63 individual camp sites, a group
camp site with 15 tent sites and a shelter with stove, picnic area, restrooms,
showers, water, a single-lane boat ramp, and a swimming beach. Individual
campsites can not be reserved in advance. There is a short boardwalk trail, with
interpretive signs, through an adjacent wetland.
This site has a quieter, slightly more out-of-the-way feel than some of the other
lake access sites. The wetland trail offers good wildlife viewing opportunities.
The Swift #2 tailrace is visible from this site,
suggesting interpretation of river dynamics
and high water management.
The site is also near the sites
of some of the most remote
pioneer homesteads in the
valley. Bull trout conservation
information should be posted
here.
