Beaver Lake is a 67-acre manmade lake dating from the days of railroad logging. One of the original railroad tramlines serves as a dam that traps and holds overflow water from a nearby creek. A shallow lake, Beaver Lake offers excellent opportunity for small boat fishing. Limited accessibility does not offer much opportunity for bank fishing. Small parking area. No camping or swimming is permitted. WMA user permit is required. Open year-round. State fishing laws and regulations apply.
