The Beaver Boardwalk in Hinton. The world’s longest freshwater boardwalk is a great family outing that showcases the local wetland system around Maxwell Lake. Built over several years through volunteer effort with corporate support, the attraction features more than three kilometres of boardwalk, seating areas, and interpretive signs. Numbers of beavers vary from year to year, but at times there are upwards of a dozen in the area. The boardwalk meanders through marshland and fens, bringing visitors close to the active beaver dam and lodge. Visiting in the warm weather months, early morning or evening is the best time to see the beavers hard at work. Numerous species of birds, butterflies, as well as deer frequent the boardwalk area and surrounding trail systems.

The beaver board walk is a great place for a nice walk and to take in some sightseeing. The boardwalk is also a small part of our amazing mountain biking system.

Beautiful natural area, with a true Boardwalk. Beaver dams and lodges are prevalent in the area. An easy walk along established trails.
