SaveCrystal Lake Trails are a gem in the rough. Little known to all by the neighbors, this trail network is the place to go to get away from everyone else. While hordes (rightly so) pack Duthie and nearby Paradise, the Crystal lake trails offer solace and trails with intersections far and few between.
Note: Please be very respectful of the neighborhoods and neighbors living in the area. The quickest way to have access shut down is to be obnoxious, litter and be a bad neighbor. Please drive slow and be respectful. Thanks
