The Quinault Lake Spruce, located near Lake Quinault Resort in Grays Harbor County, Washington, is an impressive specimen of Sitka spruce, renowned for its remarkable size. This tree holds the title of the third largest Sitka spruce by volume, measuring an astounding 298 cubic meters (10,540 ft³) and featuring the largest base among its species, with a girth of 16.90 meters at a height of 1.37 meters.
Standing at a height of 58.20 meters, the Quinault Lake Spruce is not only a natural marvel but also an important part of the local ecosystem, often starting its life on nurse logs that contribute to its massive size. Estimated to be over 1,100 years old, this monumental tree is a testament to the enduring beauty and resilience of nature in the Pacific Northwest.
