Overview

Natural Features:

The cabins sit amidst a forest of old-growth trees within walking distance of Lost Lake. The 92-acre lake gets its name from the lack of apparent inflow or outlet of water. The lake is actually fed by springs.

Tall white pines, hemlocks and other evergreens border the lake, Loons can be heard singing across the lake.

The cabins are a short drive from the Whisker Lake Wilderness. Learn more about the wilderness HERE.

Recreation:

The 92-acre Lost Lake is stocked with channel catfish, perch, brown and rainbow trout and smallmouth bass. No motors are permitted on Lost Lake, but there is a boat access area available at the Lost Lake Campground.

For visitors looking to beat the summer heat with a cool dip in the waters of Lost Lake, there is a small beach located at the cabins. In addition, there is a larger, appealing swimming beach available at the Lost Lake Campground.

The Lost Lake Trail, a 1-mile interpretive trail through a stand of 150-year-old hemlock and pine, is a short walk from the cabins. Trails also connect to the Chipmunk Rapids Trail and Lauterman National Recreation Trail system.
