Lost Lake is actually pretty easy to find, assuming you start out from the nearby Brooklyn Lake Road. You can also make Lost Lake the end of a much longer hike from neighboring trails, or a waypoint in a circumnavigation of Browns Peak.

Either way, this remote beauty is a stellar place to stop for a while, whether you're dayhiking or a backpacker looking for a place to spend the night.

Lost Lake is actually pretty easy to find, assuming you start out from the nearby Brooklyn Lake Road. You can also make Lost Lake the end of a much longer run from neighboring trails, or a waypoint in a circumnavigation of Browns Peak.

Either way, this remote beauty is a stellar—and popular—place to stop for a while, or just enjoy it on the way by if you don't want to break your pace. Expect to see a lot of day hikers and some backpackers on the trail, too.
