Description

Spruce Lake Spur is a short spur trail that takes one to Spruce Lake that is about a quarter mile west of the southernmost of the Chain Lakes.

The trail to Spruce Lake branches off from Highline Trail #7094 in two places at the southern end of the southernmost Chain Lake - here at Spruce Lake Spur, and a bit north at Spruce Lake Connector. These junctions with Highline Trail #7094 are in open meadows and are unmarked. Watch carefully to make sure you take the path you intend to take.

After a very short ways Spruce Lake Spur enters the woods and goes over a small rise. At the 0.2 mile mark Spruce Lake Spur meets Spruce Lake Connector in a muddy area at the southern tip of the Chain Lake. Go straight/left here to continue on Spruce Lake Spur to Spruce Lake. Going right takes one back to Highline Trail #7094 on Spruce Lake Connector. Past this trail junction, Spruce Lake Spur runs through the woods and rock outcrops for another 0.2 miles, to the east end of Spruce Lake, where it ends.

Flora & Fauna

Woods, meadows and rock outcrops. Fish in the lakes.
