KELLEY’S BATHTUB & JARVIS LAKE LOOP
3.7km loop around Kelly’s bathtub and the backside of Jarvis. The trailhead can be located at Kelly’s bathtub.
Take an easy stroll around the “bathtub” to see stunning Rocky Mountain views across Jarvis Lake. Catch a glimpse of moose, beaver, loon and other wildlife. From the deck at the Visitor Centre (facing the view), go to the right and then around Kelley’s Bathtub.
West Fraser Mills Ltd. sponsored the construction in 2006 of this Beaver Boardwalk to commemorate the 50th anniversary of West Fraser’s Hinton operation and the Town of Hinton. In 1955, the construction of the Hinton pulp mill began, with completion of the facility taking place the following year. As well, in 1956 the Town of Hinton was incorporated, amalgamating with Drinnan in 1957, which makes up the valley area of present day Hinton.
Interpretive signs were updated in 2017, as a joint project of the Town of Hinton and West Fraser Mills Ltd. This project was supported through a grant provided by the Forest Resource Improvement Association of Alberta.
