Small alpine lake set in old-growth forest with clear turquoise water, boardwalks, lily pads and shoreline logs — great for reflection shots, forest portraits and trail/bike-action. Best at sunrise or golden hour for warm light and glassy reflections; weekdays and early mornings avoid crowds. Year-round access with free parking at the Lost Lake lot; trails are mostly flat and family-friendly (summer swims, winter snowshoe/ice depending on conditions). No entry fee; prepare for bugs in summer.
