Beaver Lake (73.0 km)
Beaver Lake, located about 10 km southwest of Caroline, is a popular spot for fishing, kayaking, and wildlife viewing. The lake is stocked annually with trout by Alberta Environment and Parks (AEP) and is aerated from October to April through the Alberta Conservation Association’s Lake Aeration Program. Visitors can easily access the area, which features a gravel boat launch, a maintained parking area, and an on-site outhouse. Surrounding the lake is a mix of mature aspen, white spruce, and lodgepole pine, providing habitat for a variety of species. Birdwatchers can expect to see species like the Canada Goose, Common Loon, Bald Eagle, and Eastern Kingbird, while moose, elk, black bear, and coyotes may also be spotted. The area is home to plants such as beaked hazelnut, wild rose, lowbush cranberry, and mountain deathcamas. Although there are no developed trails due to steep terrain, the area offers a peaceful environment to explore and observe wildlife.
Access: Head west from Caroline on Cowboy Trail, then south on Range Road 63. The site entrance will be on your left after 9.4 km.
