Spruce Railroad Trail - Sappho Washington Hikes

A 4-mile point-to-point day hike along the North Shore of Lake Crescent. This trail offers a gentle stroll along the north shore of Lake Crescent, making a point-to-point hike that is discussed here from east to west. It follows an old railbed that was built during World War I to transport Sitka spruce from the then-inaccessible western part of the peninsula to the aircraft factories.
