The Lost Lake Trail is a segment of the longer Iditarod National Historic Trail (INHT). Lost Lake Trailhead gives access to alpine/subalpine areas within 4 miles. First 2 miles through dense conifer forest opening up dramatically to open mountainsides. For backpacking, there is 15 mile hike through combined with Primrose Trail. Off trail hiking opportunities in neighboring valleys and ridges around Lost Lake.
Camping on Lost Lake is recommended at the designated campsites, some of which are equipped with bear boxes and pit toilets. Backpackers are strongly encouraged not to camp on the Lost Lake peninsulas so that tundra can grow back.
Many good backcountry camping opportunities in alpine area surrounding Lost Lake. Practice good Leave No Trace ethics and camp out of sight of the trail and 200' from lakes and streams.
At mile 5 Seward Highway turn west into Lost Lake subdivision. Follow signs to trailhead.
