Park Amenities:
Lost Lake is a small fly fishing lake situated in the wilderness back country forests located behind the community of Winfield, BC. The community of Winfield is located in Lake Country which is part of the North Okanagan Valley.
Lost Lake is just one of many lakes in the region. Some have wilderness camping, while others do not. Lost Lake is a day use only lake. It is a fishing destination with no overnight camping facilities, boat launch or pit toilet facilities.
From the pull out parking area on the main gravel road a short walking trail leads anglers to the shores of Lost Lake. The pull out and trailhead is marked by the numerous angler information signs and a tree with a blue stripe. Another rough walking trail circles around the lake accessing the shoreline.
Lost Lake is a trout lake. Most fly fish when on the lake. Be aware there is limited shoreline for casting. Belly boats and hip waiters work best on this lake. It is possible to hike in a canoe if fitness levels are good.
Lost Lake is part of a network of lakes in the region. Many are accessed by the large network of gravel forest service roads connecting the lakes. The same forest service gravel road leading to Lost Lake also leads to Island Lake, Doreen Lake, Beaver Lake, Loon Lake and others.
When traveling the gravel roads, always be aware of oncoming vehicles as dust limits visibility and rocks fly. Slow down as many corners are blind corners. Keep your head up for free range cows which sometimes decide to graze on the road. Always have headlights on when traveling the gravel forest service roads during, both, day and night.
