Beaver Canyon is a bouldering area in the Beaver Ranger District of Fishlake National Forest in Utah, managed by the Forest Service. It sits within the Beaver Canyon power house area, about 1.5 miles from the Little Reservoir Campground and the Copes Basin mountain biking area. The climbing here is all bouldering, with two routes listed: Spider-man at V0+ and Dam Beached Beaver at V1+. Both are bouldering problems, and the grades are close to each other, so the area works well for a short session on a single day. Summer is the most comfortable time to visit. Typical averages from a nearby weather station show July highs around 80°F with lows near 52°F, while winter brings highs in the mid-30s and regular snow days from December through February. Little Reservoir Campground is about a mile away, and the Copes Basin mountain biking area is under a mile off. Elk Meadows Wall, another climbing area, is about 3.7 miles away.
