LOST CREEK CAMPGROUND

Lost Creek Campground is located just off the Mirror Lake Scenic Byway on the shores of Lost Lake at an elevation of 9,900 feet. The byway cuts through the Uinta Mountains, which are known for their abundant recreational opportunities and scenic beauty.

Lost Lake offers rainbow trout fishing, canoeing and kayaking in a beautiful setting. The lake is open only to non-motorized watercraft.

Many hiking, biking, horse and off-road vehicle trails crisscross this beautiful region, including the Crystal Lake and Bald Mountain Trails, both of which begin nearby.

Mirror Lake Campground is just up the road and offers weekend amphitheater programs, as well as more great canoeing and fishing opportunities.

The campground contains several single-family sites, all with picnic tables and campfire rings. Vault toilets, drinking water and trash collection are provided.

Firewood is available for purchase from the host. A water filling station is located at the entrance.

Roads and parking spurs are paved.

A dense forest of Engelmann spruce and lodgepole pine covers the campground, providing ample shade. Summer wildflowers dot the landscape.

Summer temperatures range from 65-75 degrees during the day to 40-50 degrees at night.

Mirror Lake Scenic Byway parallels the Lower Provo River as it snakes across a portion of the Uinta Mountains, leading to numerous high alpine lakes and streams, countless trails, breathtaking scenic viewpoints and various campgrounds.

Fishing, canoeing, hiking, backpacking, horseback riding and biking are popular activities. The High Uintas Wilderness can be accessed from several trails along the byway.
