>>> Swipe for views >>> of the most incredible golden hour tonight our Lundy Beaver Ponds 🍂🦫🌾☀️
It’s official, Lundy Beaver Ponds, Lakes Canyon trail, and Lundy Canyon trail are at peak. It’s go-now time, so don’t miss out on the colors this weekend. Please read all tips below when planning your visit.
Lundy’s precious and sensitive beaver pond habitats are found along the 1.5mile dirt portion of Lundy Lake Road just past the Lundy Lake Resort (LLR) | Camping, RV Sites, Cabins + more store on the way to trailhead. Stop by the store before your walk for local tips, beaver facts, coffee, souvenirs and treats!
🚙 The best way to enjoy the beaver ponds: plan on parking and walking gorgeous Lundy Lake Road (1.5mi). Park at the boat launch at west end near the shore. (Lundy Canyon trailhead has very limited parking, and the pull offs on Lundy Lake Rd near the ponds are to allow two-way traffic to pass safely, not long-term parking). If driving, drive SLOW 10mph for hikers, dogs, and wildlife.
🚽 Public porta potties are available in 3 sites: the trailhead, lake boat launch, and lake dam. Do not leave dog p**p bags at the Porta potties, there is no p**p bag fairy coming for them. If you “gotta go” on the trail, follow Leave No Trace rules including getting off trail away from water and carrying out (not burying, not rock-piling) your toilet paper.
🗑️ Pack out your trash. There is no trash service at the trailhead, so have a plan in place to take your trash (including dog p**p!)
🐻 🌳 🦌 Respect the locals! Our beaver ponds are active with busy families that call them home. Drive very slow and keep your distance to safely admire wildlife from afar. Do not disturb dams or huts. Please do not carve or gouge the beautiful aspen trees, which leads to infection for them.
🏕️ Camping is available at Lundy Lake Resort on west side of lake and the county Lundy Canyon Campground below east side of lake. No overnight/dispersed camping outside of the 2 campgrounds’ established paid sites. You can, with a permit, backpack the canyon for overnight use (but no camping at the trailhead/along the road).
