From Hwy. 11b in North Cobalt head south on #567 (Lorrain Valley Rd.) to the Matabitchuan powerhouse. Park here and hike up the road behind the powerhouse. The remains of an old metal log sluice can be seen halfway up the hill. Take the first left fork (do not enter the signed private road) on to the pole road (a basically unmaintained cart track used to service a nearby hydro line). Follow this road for about 2km. over various terrain with some steep grades. On the left, at the top of a steep hill, is the junction with the Beaver Mtn. summit trail which is marked with white painted blazes. Follow the trail (steep climb) up to the top where a loop trail encircles the peak. There are spectacular vistas, from separate lookouts, to the north and south as well as the fallen remains of the old fire tower. This is the highest point on the Lake Temiskaming shoreline and possibly the best lookout in the Temagami area. About 20 metres past the summit trail junction, on the opposite side of the pole road, is the junction with an extended trail that leads to campsites on Copper and Low Down Lakes. This, and all of the above trails are detailed in the book “Discovering Wild Temiskaming” by Vicky and Murray Muir available from local outfitters and the Highway 11 Bookstore.
