About Beaver Lodge Lands
Beaver Lodge Lands (officially the Beaver Lodge Forest Lands) is a 520-hectare forest on the southwest side of Campbell River. It began in 1931, when the Elk River Timber Company gave 1,028 acres to the Province of British Columbia for experimental forestry and reforestation, and it became one of the first operational plantations in B.C. Since 1993 it has been protected by its own provincial act.
A network of multi-use trails runs through the forest. Walkers, runners, mountain bikers and horseback riders all share it, so expect to meet each other on the way. The Pony Trail (#10) is the trail set aside for horses.
Park at the lots on Trask Road or South McPhedran Road. Dogs are welcome when kept under control and cleaned up after, and the Beaver Lodge Trust asks that they stay on leash. Keep to the established trails, don't build or change them, light no fires, leave the creeks undisturbed (many are salmon spawning streams) and pack out everything you bring in.
The Ministry of Forests manages the lands, with help from the Beaver Lodge Trust Society and Greenways Land Trust volunteers who adopt and maintain trails.
