Crystal Lake
| Size: | 14.3 acres |
| Elevation: | 5445 ft |
| Directions: | There are two reasonable routes to Crystal Lake. The lake is most easily accessed by taking USFS Road #236 (Deer Creek Road) south from DeBorgia. Approximately 6.4 miles from DeBorgia, USFS Trail #269 runs southwest and Crystal Lake lies 1.4 miles up this trail. The other option is to take USFS Road #282 (Little Joe Creek Road) from St. Regis to the Idaho border. Once you reach the Idaho border, take USFS Road #391 northwest approximately 8.6 miles. Here, Trail #269 proceeds to the north, though it is not well marked. Crystal Lake lies just over 2 miles north on this trail. This would be a preferred route if you want to visit several lakes in one trip. |
