Things To Do
Spruce Railroad Trail
The Spruce Railroad Trail is a 4-mile waterfront trail along the Northern shoreline of Lake Crescent. The Spruce Railroad Trail is now one of the most iconic and accessible sections of the 134 mile Olympic Discovery Trail and is fully paved. Originally built to haul Spruce timber for World War I aircraft, the Spruce Railroad Trail wasn’t completed until 1919, a year too late for its intended purpose. About 1 mile from the Eastern Trailhead, the Devil’s Punchbowl and bridge is one of the most picturesque sections and is a favorite among thrill-seekers that cliff jump into the cold, glacial-fed waters.
Marymere Falls Trail
The 1.5-mile roundtrip to scenic Marymere Falls leaves from nearby Storm King Ranger Station, about a 10 minute walk east of the Lake Crescent Lodge. Pass through old growth forest and across a footbridge to the 90-foot falls.
Granny's Cafe
This local eatery offers hearty breakfasts, awesome burgers, and tasty desserts. They also feature small-batch local wine, microbrews, and ciders. Everything is made from scratch, as locally sourced as possible. Hours 11:00 a.m. to 7 p.m. and closed Tuesday, Wednesday. They offer some indoor seating and plenty of outdoor seats. Granny's Cafe only serves lunch and dinner food.
Lake Crescent Boat Tour
Enjoy 1.5 hours on the water with a licensed boat captain. On this boat tour you will learn about the history of the lake, the geology, geography and native lore.
Boat and Paddle Board Rentals
First-come first-serve rentals of single kayaks, tandem kayaks, canoes, and paddleboards. Rentals begin at 8:00 am and the last rental goes out at 3:00 pm. From your rental you can fish, picnic lunch or just drift with the breeze and bask in the warm sunshine.
Moments in Time Trail
The trail leads through forest, a small meadow and lake shore and is considered an easy half mile loop.

We've stayed here several times during our visits to Olympic National Park. It's a beautiful, tucked away slice of heaven with beautiful views. If you're staying extra days in the park to explore more, we highly recommend staying here.
