Weekend Warrior Summary:
In my opinion, this trail is the best beginner trail in the state! The scenery is absolutely spectacular, yet an easy ride all the way through. The trail mostly follows the old Spruce Railroad grade from the early 1900's. The entire trail parallels the shoreline and provides excellent views of the beautiful deep teal waters of Lake Crescent. This is the only offroad bike trail in the Olympic National Park. Wildlife is very abundant in this area to include blacktail deer, black bear, coyotes, and various birds. In recent years, cougar/mountain lions have been sighted on the trail and warning signs were posted at the trailhead. I would definitely recommend this trail to anyone looking to get a scenic ride but still have energy to enjoy it all. The trail is dirt single track with some sharp rocks in places and later abandoned roadway. Recommended Route:
From Port Angeles take U.S. Highway 101 west to mile marker 232 and turn right onto East Beach Road. Following this road for 3.2 miles, just past the Log Cabin Resort, you will find the sign for the Spruce Railroad Trail, turn left. The parking area is near some houses just a mile ahead. Other recommended trails in the same area:
Lower Dungeness Loop
