Snowshoe hikes on the property

This beautiful pathway on the Beyul retreat was created by our Artist in Residence, Heather Hansen, and it continues to grow and change! Start by North from the Main Lodge, towards the big Aspen trees next to the road. The path will appear and take you by our waterfall, and around the big pond, with different surprises depending on which direction you take! Then follow it behind the old Barn for a creature surprise and more riverfront access before following it back up to the cabins and lodge.

This 20 minute loop starts 100 yards past the Muckawanago Creek (which means “A Bear Crossing '' in the native Ute language). Walk over the creek, in between Aspen Lodge and Sunset cabin on the east side of the property. Come to an open clearing, and take the path to your right that leads you up the hill. Once you come onto a rise, look for the big Boulder. At this point, you can walk to your right to connect with the road that leads back down to the Beyul lodge, or go around the boulder to go up hill a bit farth, then turn back downhill once you join the clear road that leads you downhill back to Beyul!

This lovely flat trail takes you 1.15 miles to the Norrie Colony, a private neighborhood of cabins. Walk over the Mickiwanigo creek and follow the road that leads east, past Aspen Lodge and Sunset Cabin. Look for the “Throne Rock” on your left, and the “Split Rock” also on your left. Continue following the clear trail through alpine meadows with Glaciated boulders. Once at Norrie colony, follow road to your right for a longer hike, or turn around and come back the way you came!

Start right behind the Beyul Lodge and head south, up the hill. Follow the road up as far as you would like. 15 minutes up you will find a lovely open meadow. To continue, stay to the right hand side of the creek bed, and continue up the steep trail. Another 30 minutes will bring you to the southside of a ridge with open views of the Muckawanago Drainage. Follow the same path down for a decently strenuous morning or evening hike or run!
