Beaver Lake Park

Beaver Lake Park was originally a private resort in the 1930s known as the Four Seasons Resort. In 1960, the resort was then turned into a Catholic Youth Organization where they ran a camp called Camp Cabrini. Finally, in 1985, the land purchased by the county and it has been known as Beaver Lake Park ever since. The park consists of 83 acres of land with parking lots located on the north and west side of the park with a large forested section and trails located in the middle.

Some amenities offered here include rental facilities, large grassy meadows, sports fields, a playground, picnic shelters, an off-leash dog park and restrooms. The park also has a traditional Native American-style lodge that has been used to host weddings in the past. Every October the annual "Nightmare at Beaver Lake" is held here, which is an elaborate and terrifying haunted house-type attraction.
