Beaver viewing
is best in October when they are repairing their dams and laying in
their winter food piles and are often quite active during the day.
In summer, when most people visit Algonquin, beavers are seldom visible
until just before sunset. They are so common, however, (just about
any low lying wet area or weedy lake has them) that you don't have
to go very far out of your way to find a place to sit and watch them
some evening. The Beaver Pond
Trail itself is an excellent spot to watch beavers and so is the
Mizzy Lake Trail (especially
if you join a conducted Evening Walk
led by the naturalist staff).
