Nestled into the stunning alpine scenery of the Mt Hood National Forest, Lost Lake is a truly extraordinary place. This crystal clear lake is rimmed by lush evergreen forests and its smooth waters reflect the spectacular, snow-capped peak of Oregon’s tallest mountain.
Located in the Mt Hood National Forest, Lost Lake is a stunning natural wonder and a perfect place to relax surrounded by natural beauty.

As you can imagine, Lost Lake is an incredible place to stay the night. You can book a room in the historic Lost Lake Lodge, or stay at the campsite nearby. Sunrises and sunsets at the lake are truly extraordinary.

I definitely reccomend bringing or renting a non-motorized boat to take out on the water.

There’s also a great hiking trail that loops all the way around the lake.
