Lost Lake


Area Status: Open

Popular for spring fishing with good shoreline access, and a popular camping area. The campground was developed in the 1930s and 40s by the Civilian Conservation Corps. The old Guard Station at the entrance was built in 1941 which adds to the character of the campground. Lost Lake hosts a pair of Common Loons and Canada geese. There are 18 campsites, (14 single sites, and 4 doubles) with picnic tables and fire rings.
