Water Activities
Parker Pond is the largest body of water closest to Beaver Creek. Even though it is called a pond, it is actually a 2.5 square mile lake. It has a public boat launch where you can launch kayaks and we recommend paddling out to one of the state-owned, publicly available islands. Most of the islands have campsites, and 2 of them have vintage, restored cabins open for you to explore. Discovering these islands may be one of the highlights of your trip. We enjoy boating out to the islands and swimming around them. In late July and August, expect plentiful blueberries on the island shorelines.
Egypt Pond is only 4 minutes away with a boat launch. This is a smaller pond and very quiet and makes for a nice peaceful kayak.
Norcross Pond has a small access area right at the bottom of the hill on Norcross Hill Road, 2 minutes from Beaver Creek. Launch kayaks here or take a dip to cool off.
The Chimney is an area with 2 boat launches next to each other into 2 different bodies of water, separated by a dam/waterfall. Larger Echo Lake and smaller Taylor Pond are both great kayaking options. 8 minutes away.
If you are looking for a best-kept secret backcountry swimming experience then let us know after you book the cabin. We’ll give you directions to a pristine, untouched body of water that we like to keep it a secret. To access, you will need to hike 10 minutes through the hemlock forest as there are no buildings or roads near this pond. The water is exceptionally clear; you can see deep down. It has been said that this is one of the top 10 cleanest bodies of water in the state and it is just 3 miles from the cabin. Contact us directly for the (secret) directions to this pond!
Let us know if you would like even more info. A great description of all the lakes in our area can be found here- on the 30 Mile River Watershed website.
