Hike 8/4 Spada Lake
Bald Mountain towers over Spada Lake Reservoir
Resting at an overlook above Culmback Dam, the 260 foot high barrier that impounds the lake
The dam was built in the early 1960's. Spada Lake is the water source for 80% of Snohomish County
A giant circular spillway prevents the lake level from rising too high
Thimbleberry and a few other edible treats were seen along the trails
Forest trail near the east end of the reservoir
Three new bridge sections were installed on the Greider Lakes Trail in 2023
Overlook of Spada Lake looking west. Dam is at far end of lake
Youth-on-Age, aka the "Piggyback Plant" on the edge of the trail
All trailheads and rec areas have information boards and outhouses.
More views from the overlook along Greider Lakes Trail
Soaking the toes after 4-5 miles of walking
