Trail Distance:

1.2 Miles

Features:

Hiking

Descending from the Summit Peak parking area and trailhead, the Beaver Creek Trail joins the Little Carp River Trail 1.3 miles south of Mirror Lake. Bridging and boardwalk allows the hiker to view and investigate wetlands adjacent to the Little Carp River as it winds through beaver meadows and alder thickets. This trail is great for bird watchers and other naturalists.

Porcupine Mountains Wilderness State Park

Porcupine Mountains Wilderness State Park (60,000 acres) is one of the few remaining large wilderness areas in the Midwest. Towering virgin timber, secluded lakes, and miles of wild rivers and streams make a visit to the "Porkies" a trip to remember. Black bears are common in the Porkies

Areas of attraction within the Porkies include Lake of the Clouds (ADA accessible viewing area), Summit Peak observation tower, and the scenic Presque Isle River corridor which hosts the states second largest waterfalls. Join us in August for the annual Music Festival hosted by the Friends of the Porkies. For further information about this event please visit Friends of the Porkies Festival webpage.
