From the crest of Porters Lake Loop, hikers may continue west, 1.5 km, to the bridge at Spriggs Brook, and another 1 km to Granite Lake. The route offers views of distant Granite Lake and stillwater sections of Spriggs Brook, and passes through older, mixed pine forest showing scars of long-ago forest fires. Arriving at Granite Lake, many will be tempted to enjoy an idyllic rest or perhaps a swim. This 2 km long wilderness lake is about 3.5 km from the trail head at Myra Road.
