Mineral Mountains   Suggested by Merrill Webb

Directions: From Beaver drive west on State Route #21 to Milford which is a total of 31 miles. Stay on this same road as it curves north through Milford.  Four miles north of Milford look for the road going east to the Blundell Geothermal Plant. After driving nine miles there is a junction. Continue on east toward the mountains.

Minersville Lake Park   Suggested by Merrill Webb

Directions:  This is no longer a state park, but a small fee is still required to access the picnic and boat ramp areas. The exit to the picnic areas (and the south side of the reservoir where the dam is located) is twelve miles from Beaver on State Road #21. Turn right (west) and drive less than one mile to access the south part of the reservoir. There are actually two dirt roads between Adamsville and this exit where access to the lake can be obtained.  Both are good for looking out over the lake.
