Description

Beaver Fever is an easy loop addition that rides well in either direction. Access it just after String Bean for the third in a series of three green loops in a row. It stems out from the intersection of The Beans and the connector to the Catalyst Loop, heading west on the access road and across a bridge to send you out on the main body of the loop. The loop returns across this same bridge and back to the intersection.

This trail is all about the views, wildflowers, bald eagles, and of course beavers are all common sites.
