The premier hiking trail at Pocahontas State Park encircles Beaver Lake. Misleadingly named, the lake was actually the work of the Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC), and this route descends from the park’s CCC Museum to pass the Depression-era stone spillway before circling the lake.
Forest Exploration Trial, the park’s newest, crosses Swift Creek just where it begins to widen north of Swift Creek Lake. Though not connected (except by pavement) the two loops together highlight the park’s cultural and ecological heritage.
