This easily accessible trailhead on the Mountain Loop Highway (about 9 miles southeast of Darrington) offers a small graveled parking lot with space for approximately 10 vehicles and a vault toilet facility.

The location provides access to the Beaver Lake Trail, a mellow 3-mile roundtrip hike that follows an old railroad grade along the Wild and Scenic Sauk River, making it suitable for year-round recreation. A Northwest Forest Pass is required for parking.
