Hills Creek State
Park
Length: 1.5 mile
This trail begins at the entrance to the camping area and follows the
lakeshore in a westerly direction for about one mile, finally arriving at
the Beaver Hut Boating Area. A beaver house plus many signs of beaver
activity may be seen in this area. From the boating area the trail generally
follows the lakeshore in a southerly direction for about one mile, ending at
the dam breast of Hills Creek Lake. This section of the trail offers an
excellent variety of bird life attracted by seeds from white spruce,
red-osier dogwood and viburnums that dominate this moist area.
