Hiking

Lost Lake is a small body of water that sits just to the east of the ridge in the Sangre de Cristo Mountains that includes, in northwest to southeast order, Mount Walter, Wheeler Peak, Simpson Peak, Old Mike Peak, and Red Dome. Lost Lake is a good place to rest on a long hike.

Mountain biking

Lost Lake is one of many high elevation reservoirs within the Sangre de Cristo Mountains. Because most of the trails in the area are in wilderness areas, there aren't a ton of mountain biking options out here. For that reason, this lake is one of the main mountain biking destinations in this part of the mountains.
