Beaver Dam State Park Interpretive Trail

The Interpretive Trail is a shorter hike gaining 250 feet in elevation inside Beaver Dam State Park. Beginning beside site 18 in Campground B, the trail begins climbing immediately, heading past several interpretive signs describing local flora and geological history. Generally rising up a series of switchbacks, the top of the trail opens up to wide vistas over the colorful stone landscapes throughout the park. At the peak the trail splits before circling the summit of the hill, and retracing the path back down. Pinyon, juniper, prickly pear and native oak trees are all visible along the trail. There are vault toilets and seasonal water spigots available in Campground B.

All visitors to Beaver Dam State Park must pay the park's $5 day-use fee.
