These two trails form a 2.5-mile, easy loop through the Mountain Lake Wilderness Area to the War Spur Overlook. The Overlook has outstanding views of the surrounding mountains and the valleys below.
This route takes you through rhododendron thickets, virgin hemlock and stands of eastern hardwoods. You even pass an occasional chestnut tree. A small stream crosses the trail several times. Wildflowers and fern gardens are scattered along the trail.
From I-81 Exit 118B take Route 460 West to Route 700. Follow the signs to Mountain Lake Lodge. Continue past Mountain Lake for 3 miles (you will be on SR 613). The War Spur Trailhead is on your right.
You can also click on the marker on the map to get Google directions to the trailhead.
