Beaver Dams is a 7-mile out-and-back hike in the Richfield Ranger District of Fishlake National Forest in Utah. The trail climbs 393 feet from a low point of about 9,611 feet to a high of about 9,935 feet. It's a hard route, and it is open year-round. The trail's natural surface makes it a good one for mountain biking as well as hiking. The Great Western Trail (D-4) and Trail 4740 both lie within a third of a mile, and the Beaver Dams Loop is about half a mile away, so riders can easily link the hike with other trails on this stretch of the Harves River Reservoir network. Harves River Cua Dispersed campground sits about 1.8 miles away for anyone who wants to spend the night, and Lower Farnsworth Cua Dispersed is about 2 miles off.
