Description

This short spur trail originates at the Fern - Odessa Lake Trail, just north of Fern Lake. It climbs moderately at first before leveling out atop the ridge. The trail contours to the west along the ridge for about a half mile before reaching Spruce Lake.

Take a moment to absorb the scenic nature of Spruce Lake and its surrounding flora. If you feel up to it, continue up the steepest section of trail for another half mile to Loomis Lake.
