Bridge over the Punchbowl

We began our hike at the Eastern TH. This trail has very little elevation gain following a former rail line along the shoreline of Lake Crescent, sometimes right beside the lake and at other times slightly above.Turn-around time came before we reached the 3 mile mark where the trail passes a tunnel which the railroad passed through. We did see a bypassed tunnel just after crossing the bridge at Devil Point. This is a very nice winter walk. The trail was cleared of fallen trees It is one of the few trails in ONP allowing mountain bikes.
