16. Enjoy A Beaver Tail!

Got a sweet tooth? If you want something prepared locally that’s also sweet to eat, then enjoy a Bear Tail. They are one of the country’s favorite sweet treats and you can get one in a shop smack dab in the center of town.

But just what is a Beaver Tail? We’re glad you asked! A Beaver Tail is essentially a piece of perfectly baked dough that is topped with a virtual cornucopia of candy and more!

Tasty toppings may include cinnamon, fresh fruit, M&Ms, Nutella, and more. You can choose from a number of pre-made determined combos or create your own yummy masterpiece! Beaver Tails aren’t actually unique to the town, but it’s still a Canadian favorite and a great way to reward yourself after a hard day of hiking in the park.
