Loxton Beaver Trail

Originally built and maintained for winter use as a ski trail, the trail once hosted the South River Loppet. This route is now opened for the summer as a hiking trail as well. The majority of this 8.5 km trail is moderately difficult, there are areas that feature challenging climbs and descents. The trail meanders through a mixed coniferous and deciduous forest. This route will take hikers past Loxton Lake and Beaver Lake, both of which are visible from the trail, and through various terrain including bogs, fens, and marshlands. At one point, the path emerges at the Loxton Dam, which is a soothing spot to take a break, and dangle hot, tired feet in cool water before continuing on your exploration.

Mike McCann oversaw the establishment of this loop in the 1980’s with funding obtained by Project Dare.
