Beaver Utah is known most for its immense mountain range and beautiful valley. There are tons of great outdoor activities that you can enjoy.
In the Winter Month’s, Beaver is a great place to come skiing, Snowmobiling, Sledding or just to enjoy the beautiful scenery.
The Ski Resort on Beaver Mountain is Eagle Point. Eagle Point is a hidden gem in the Skiing world. Even on the busiest of weekends, you will not wait in line more than a couple of minutes for lifts. During the week, it can seem like you have the runs to yourself. The Lodge has a great menu and can be an entertaining and peaceful getaway. There are some snowshoe trails that offer agressive or adventurous skiers/snowboarders the opportunity to hike to more extreme trails. The resort has two seperate parks that helps to protect some of the beginner riders from being mixed into the fast moving advanced riders. Cross Country skiing can be a great way to get into the back country of Beaver during the winter months.
Snowmobiling is a great way to enjoy the mountain. Some cabin residents that live on the mountain year round use snowmobiles for access to and from their cabin. We are working to get a tour system set up for Snowmobile tours of the area. If you are interested, please contact Jason by emailing bigc7@msn.com.
Four Wheeling – Beaver is a great access point for the Paiute Trail system. Please visit our ATV- Four Wheeler page for more information.
Camping – Beaver has many established campgrounds and tons of places to just “Pull-Off” and camp. There are 3 main campgrounds in town with full hookups and various campgrounds on the mountain near the lakes. Most people like to try to find a spot away from the crowds and enjoy the outdoors. Feel free to come in or send us an email and we would be happy to recommend some secluded spots if you are looking for that peaceful vacation.
