About the Beaver Island Archipelago Trails Association
BIATA was founded to develop and sustain a trail system that captures the unique environment of the islands. In pursuit of this mission it works to maintain existing trails and develop new opportunities for hiking on the islands in the archipelago.

About the Beaver Island Retreat
Our passion for nature made us fall in love with Beaver Island. We found ourselves replenishing our weak, weary bones with short island vacations from hectic jobs and busy lives. We found ourselves in need of the island’s dark skies and the whisper of the wind that carries love’s innocence as it grazes the ferns. The island was the catalyst for independence; we had a desire to be liberated from the structure and self-created obligations tying us down, free to follow an unusual bird singing it’s song along an overgrown trail at a given moment. We wanted to get lost in the silence, no time constraints or worry. And, we had a goal to positively impact others, to protect the island while sharing its incredible, life-changing power and its welcoming community.
