About
Beaver Lake is located northeast of Lake Bonaparte in the Colville National Forest, forming part of a chain with Beth and Little Beaver Lakes. What was once a campground has been permanently converted to a day-use trailhead serving the Beth Lake Trail #316, a 1.9-mile lakeside path leading to Beth Lake. The site offers shoreline fishing access for rainbow trout typically ranging 10-13 inches. Both motorized and non-motorized boating are permitted on the lake. A Washington state fishing license is required, and two-pole fishing is allowed. This is a primitive day-use area with no facilities. There are no restrooms, no potable water, and no camping permitted. A small parking area serves day visitors. The site is open seasonally from the fourth Saturday in April through August 31.
