What To Do In Beaver, Utah!
Beaver Canyon Scenic Highway - a must!!
What is Beaver, Utah and what to do in that tiny town, why bother stopping in Beaver and is there a town really called Beaver? Well, despite its unusual name, it is most certainly a real town!
Beaver is located in nearly central Utah, along the I15 highway, convenient for those of us that are traveling and need to stay a night or 2. Surrounded by small mountains (after you have seen the Rockies everything is small), this quaint town is beckoning you stop by, even for just a day! Here are some things you can do in Beaver, Utah:
Yummy ice cream!!
The Creamery. This is a must! It is a place to enhance your taste buds as you delve into their macaroni and cheese dishes, soups, sandwiches, salads and much more! They have a kitchen you can order from, plus you can eat outside when the weather is nice! Don’t forget to have ice cream before you leave!
Downtown. It is a very small down town area, but definitely doable for walking. You might stop in a small eatery, or a hardware store. Hardly any traffic!
Hiking. There are plenty of hiking trails for you to traverse on. Try Mammoth Crossing Loop for an easy one or Delano Ridgeline trail to get your heart pumping!
Paddleboarding or kayaking and especially trout fishing in Minersville Reservoir. Yep, Beaver has water, but make sure to check the weather as it gets windy there!
Scenic driving. Fall is a great time to check out Beaver, Utah, as there are plenty of fall foliage to view and take photos of! Highly recommend taking the Beaver Canyon Scenic Byway. Bring your camera along as you drive along a small creek and plenty of trees up a canyon!
Delano Ridgeline Trail - a challenging and rewarding hiking trail!
So you see, there are plenty of things to do, but how about where to stay? Glad you asked that! Here are some ideas for your next stay at Beaver, Utah:
If staying in a comfy hotel is your thing then click HERE! There are quite a few hotels to choose from.
If you love the outdoors and camping, click HERE for a list of FREE and paid sites! I would like to personally recommend the Fremont Road Dispersed Camping area. It is 10 miles south of Beaver, just off of I15, a very large area to accommodate many campers and is a gravel pit. We have stayed here a few times and never had a problem, but maybe a cow visitor. It is the same typical rule for free camping: 14 days only.
Mammoth Crossing Loop - an easy and fun hike!!
There is much more to see and visit and I would highly recommend checking this place out! If small towns are on your bucket list, make sure to put Beaver, Utah down! You will not regret it!
