Trail Information

Highlights

This is an easy trail for drivers of all kinds who’d like a nice drive in the woods. Off of Hall Valley Road, Beaver Creek offers a little challenge for stock vehicles and some amazing views of the forest throughout including Beaver Creek and its natural dams, and connects to the network of trails in the Jefferson Lake area.

If you would like to run Webster Pass (FS 285.181) and/or Red Cone (FS 565), then this is a an alternaitve place to camp though can be very busy with small vehicle traffic.

As of mid-day Sunday 21May2023, the gate from the Grant side/CR60 is closed. The gate to the area from CR124 is also closed. We were able to access the area via an open gate on the Jefferson side that took us to Deadman/Wahl/a section of Guernsey. The gate from 285 to Guernsey was also closed. Spots of snow on Wahl. The creek crossing at Waypoint 3 to Lininger cutoff looked the same as it does every time we've been there, likely about hub-deep, but we didn't cross as we were unsure why the Grant side gate to Beaver Creek was still closed. It was a strange being able to get to the opposite side of closed gates via an open gate on a different forest service's jurisdiction/area. Hopefully the FS gets the gate(s) open for the holiday weekend.

Easy trail with a few campsites. None of these easy trails are worth visiting on their own but if you’re killing time or looking for a place to camp to then hit Webster or Red Cone the next day, this is a great little network of trails.

Checked in on Beaver Creek and North Beaver while I was in the area. No major changes, just a little bumpier now. Trail will get bumped up to a 1-2 due to rutting and exposed rocks that exist now.
