The Black Bay Beaver Pond Trail is a boat-in hiking trail in Voyageurs National Park, reached by boating about a mile from the Rainy Lake Visitor Center to a day-use dock on Black Bay of Rainy Lake. A brown Park Service trailhead sign marks the landing, where there is also a vault toilet; pets are not allowed on the trail.
The narrow dirt path runs 1.2 miles round trip — rated moderate, about 30 to 60 minutes — through northern pines and hardwoods and across rock ridges, with a few short, steep climbs and descents over rock and roots. It ends at a scenic active beaver pond with a beaver lodge out in the middle. Because the trailhead is on the Kabetogama Peninsula, there is no road to it; a boat is the only way in.
