Link: More Information
Lost Park is an interesting valley with good to excellent brook trout in the small stream (not very big, but a lot of them). This location can be handled either as a car camp utilizing Lost Park Campground or a backpacking adventure. How to get there: Take US 285 west, through Bailey and Grant to the top of Kenosha Pass. Descend to the bottom of the pass; the first county road on the south side of the highway is the Lost Park access road, CR56. This turn-off is about one mile before the community of Jefferson. Follow the access road for about 19.1 miles to the Lost Park Campground. The trail: From the campground the most interesting trail goes southeast, on FS609. Follow this trail, in about a mile a large valley, East Lost Park, will appear on your left. There are several campsites on the south side of the valley. The trail continues the length of the valley, where the trail crosses the stream the trail splits. The trail that goes left is the main one and goes for miles following the loop trail around the Lost Creek Wilderness Area. The right trail which follows the stream also goes into the Lost Creek Wilderness Area. This branch of the trail is supposed to go through a rocky area, where the creek disappears; eventually connecting to other trails within the Wilderness Area. This trail is not on the maps.
