Beaver Lodge Forest Lands

The Beaver Lodge Forest Lands (BLFL) is an adventure destination located in the community of Campbell River, BC on Vancouver Island, Canada. The BLFL is a highly used trail network enjoyed by hikers, bikers and horseback riders.

The forestry lands were initially a gift to the Province of BC by the Elk River Timber Company.

Today, the lands operate both as a forest project and a recreation destination.
