Romantic Asheville: Beaver Lake Bird Sanctuary
The Beaver Lake Bird Sanctuary is a wonderful wildlife oasis in the very busy north Asheville area. It is a great spot for a evening walk or morning birding expedition. Walk a 3/8-mile boardwalk through a wetland area and by the lake, complete with sitting areas along the way to soak up the views and watch birds. Beaver Lake provides resting, feeding and nesting spots for resident and migratory birds. The Elisha Mitchell Audubon Society, a chapter of National Audubon, manages the 10-acre sanctuary. It was established in the mid-1980s, when Audubon successfully led an effort to prevent construction of a strip mall on the site. It's free to visit.

General Information: Audubon uses donations to maintain the sanctuary, and a donation box is situated near the parking lot. In 2002, Audubon began a major effort to replace invasive/exotic vegetation in Beaver Lake Bird Sanctuary with native plants. The sanctuary was established in the mid-1980s, when Audubon successfully led an effort to prevent construction of a strip mall on the site. In addition to the sanctuary lot a few parking spots are available at the dam at the corner of Merrimon and Glen Falls. There are no restrooms. Hours are dawn to dusk, and the parking-lot gate opens and shuts on a timer. North of the sanctuary, a gravel path follows the lake's edge to the dam and spillway. Visitors are asked to take away trash.
