Overview
PacifiCorp operates several campgrounds on its Lewis River reservoirs and, in 2015, opened a trail between two of them, Beaver Bay and Cougar Park. The route is an exemplar of trail engineering, with five footbridges and almost 300 steps as it squeezes between Highway 503 on a bluff near a powerline corridor and the Beaver Bay Wetland. Both parks are gated for seven months of the year, and this is the best time to visit for a peaceful experience. During those times, it’s best to begin from the Beaver Bay side as the walk down the entrance road is shorter. In the spring and summer months, when the campgrounds are open and busy, there are no fees for day use Monday through Thursday.
