Spruce Lake
Trailhead: Fern Lake
Via: Fern Lake
Distance: 4.8 mi
Elevation Change: 1,510'
The spur trail to Spruce Lake is actually a hundred yards or so short of Fern Lake. This is a very pretty trail but can be difficult to follow at times, particularly a cairn marked section through a boulder field. The trail also passes through a few marshy spots with boardwalks.
