Actually, the cache is not AT the beaver dam, but you’ll pass the beaver dam as you approach the cache walking clockwise around the lake. Beaver dams are so cool, and this one has grown bigger and bigger every year. Take a few minutes to look at it.
Every summer we camp for a few days at Trillium Lake. We kayak, fish, swim, and cook over a fire. And we always take a hike around the lake. This cache was hidden during our 2018 hike around the lake.
The container is “small-medium” size; only small swag will fit.
We hope our trail of family-friendly Trillium caches endures. With heavy snow every winter, subsequent water flow from snow melt, trees falling in wind storms, lots of debris falling, and constant rot and regrowth, the foliage can change so much from year to year.
The road is closed in the winter. You can park outside the official park and hike the around the lake without paying day-use fee, or you can pay day-use fee and use the picnic area.
