The BIC Center will serve as the official trailhead for the newly established Beaver Island Water Trail.  We are excited to serve as an information point for the new trail. With our location right across from the ferry dock, we are a natural first point of contact for visitors.  Paddlers coming to the island will be able to stop by the Community Center for trail maps, local information and internet access.

The 50-mile, non-motorized Beaver Island Water aims to enhance access, highlight natural and cultural features and promote tourism on the lake’s largest, most remote inhabited isle. The route includes lighthouses, beaches, birding hotspots, shipwrecks, beaver activity areas, campsites and more.  An online guide for the water trail is available at watertrail.biccenter.org and printed copies will be available in the BIC Center lobby.

We’re proud to be part of this new island feature that has come to life after hours of work from many dedicated islanders and mainlanders who love our island.
