Spruce Railroad Trail along the north shore of Lake Crescent is an excellent day hike. Road to parking in good shape, signed. Parking lot available. Signboard with information and maps. Trail in excellent condition to through first railroad tunnel. Surveying markers indicate future development of trail. Trail beyond first tunnel is in good shape, some tree fall and mud but passable.
Hiking along trail gives wonderful viewing opportunities across the lake and Storm King and nearby mountains. Water views are excellent. History of trail is worth studying. The second tunnel gives a chance to scramble through rock detritus. Stop and have lunch along Lake's edge.
