Since the partially paved road leading to the summit has unprotected shoulders at some points, caution is advised. The road should not be attempted by inexperienced drivers or during hazardous driving conditions. Numerous overlooks along the drive provide scenic views. An observation tower and interpretive trail are at the summit. Nearby Spruce Knob Lake is stocked with trout and offers good fishing, especially during the spring and fall.
Camping is available.
Spruce Knob is located within Monongahela National Forest .
