The Phantom of the Beaver Boardwalk
Our beloved Beaver Boardwalk is more than just a beautiful place to stroll, it's a magical window into the wild heart of Hinton. Winding through fens, marshes, ponds, and forest edges, the boardwalk is home to a bustling community of critters, from busy beavers and croaking bullfrogs to blue jays, muskrats, and foxes.
Every visit is a chance to learn something new about the wildlife that live right in our backyard. Whether you're spotting beaver lodges at dusk or watching dragonflies dance over the water, the boardwalk is the perfect place for curious kids (and curious cats!) to explore the wonders of nature.
