History
Beaver Lake Preserve was purchased in 2002 through a Washington State Recreation and Conservation Office grant.
An additional 17 acres were purchased from the Kipper family in 2007. The addition of the Kipper property allows Beaver Lake Preserve to now connect to Soaring Eagle Park. It was a critical acquisition that ensures connectivity between our natural resources.
The first trail and a parking lot were built in 2008.
