Herring Cove & Beaver Lake Trail

Trek Description

The Herring Cove and Beaver Lake trail brings you through the lush mossy temperate rainforest of hemlock, spruce, and yellow cedar and along beautiful waterfalls as you hike up to the picturesque Beaver Lake. Hiking up about 600 feet in elevation to the lake, you will loop around the shore, and through the muskeg with views of nearby rugged mountains before descending back to sea level. Level of difficulty: Moderate/Difficult. The hiking time is about 2.5 hours. There is a steep grade at the beginning and end of this trek, with the middle section around the lakes having little elevation gain. This hike is for those who are accustomed to regular activity and participants will need to be physically fit. Trail Condition: Rock steps and boardwalk sections are often slippery. The trail has some areas where footing is difficult, including some uneven stepping stones and log steps.
