Devils Punchbowl - Lake Crescent

Next Hike ?!? Who wants to join?

The hike to Devil’s Punchbowl at Lake Crescent is an easy trail about 2.4 miles out-and-back round trip, winding along the northern shore of the lake. You’ll enjoy stunning views of Lake Crescent’s clear, deep blue water 💙 surrounded by lush forest. The trail passes through a historic railroad tunnel 🚇 that is dark inside, so bringing a flashlight 🔦 is a good idea. Just beyond the tunnel, the trail leads to Devil’s Punchbowl, a calm inlet separated from the main lake by a wooden bridge 🌉.

- Easy, 2.4 miles out-and-back with gentle elevation
