The trail to Beaver Meadow Lodge follows an old road to a high basin surrounded by mountains on three sides and makes an excellent family hike. On a clear day, it is possible to see Whiteface Mountain to the north. Beaver Meadow Lodge is one of two shelters within the Long Trail System with a woodstove making it an excellent winter overnight spot.
From Beaver Meadow Rd. parking lot take the Beaver Meadow Trail for 1.8 mi to an intersection with the Beaver Meadow Loop Trail. You can take this loop in either direction, but if you bear left, you will reach the Beaver Meadow Lodge and the intersection with the Chilcoot Trail (2.3 mi.) Continue around the loop, which skirts a meadow, for another 0.5 mi, then return to your car via the Beaver Meadow Trail for 1.8 mi. (4.6 mi.)
