Part of a Cooper Landing day or overnight, from either property
Tier B · Cooper Landing Hiking
Crescent Creek / Crescent Lake
Crescent Creek / Crescent Lake is a moderate valley trail, roughly 6.2 to 6.3 miles one way, to an alpine lake with real fishing, camping, and a Forest Service cabin option. It's a solid day hike or a simple overnight, without the scale of Resurrection Pass or Russian Lakes.
Who this suits
Guests who want a moderate valley hike with a real lake payoff, without committing to the bigger Resurrection Pass or Russian Lakes systems. Good for a day hike or a simple overnight.
A plan that works
- Position this as the moderate, lower-commitment valley/lake hike relative to Resurrection Pass or Russian Lakes.
- Mention the Forest Service cabin option for guests considering an overnight — reservations apply.
Drive and timing, honestly
- Cooper Landing area. No drive time is stated — none has been measured from either property.
- Full day, or a simple overnight.
What we won’t promise
- We cannot promise current Forest Service cabin/campsite availability, current trail and creek-crossing conditions, or current fishing regulations at the lake.
Practical notes
- A solid day hike or simple overnight without Resurrection Pass's or Russian Lakes' bigger scale.
