Lost Lake trails can be enjoyed on foot or by bike during the summer months and by Nordic skiing and snowshoeing when the snow falls in the winter.

Notice: A wildfire fuel thinning project within Lost Lake Park will be in progress in fall 2019 and crews will focus on the area between Spruce Grove Park and the Scandinave Spa until snow prevents work from continuing. Learn more about the project.
