From the ranger station, follow the Marymere Falls Trail 0.75 mile for a spectacular view of this 90-foot falls. Not a lot of water, but it’s quite impressive nevertheless. Return via the Crescent Lake Lodge Trail for a two-mile loop hike.

The Mt. Storm King Trail splits off from the Marymere Trail and climbs more than 3,000 feet in a bit over a mile, with fine views across the lake. The path ends before the summit, and the Park Service recommends against continuing to the top due to hazardous conditions.

A four-mile hike starting at Lyre River Road or North Shore Road at opposite ends of Lake Crescent, the Spruce Railroad Trail follows the tracks of the 1918 Spruce Railroad, built to supply spruce for World War I aircraft. The war was over before the railroad was completed, however, and the spruce was no longer needed. Two tunnels (closed) and depressions from the railroad ties remain. Besides a taste of local history, the almost-level hike provides a view of Lake Crescent.
