Hiking Trails Popular

The hiking trails at Lost Lake Lodge are a great place to enjoy the beauty of nature. The Lost lake Trail, the Forest Management Loop and the the Burial Mound Trail each offer unique opportunities to experience and learn about changes in soil types, terrain, foliage and wildlife. Informational signposts along the way point out interesting facts about what's happening with the surrounding woods and wildlife.
The Lost Lake Trail
One of the highlights of the Lost Lake Trail is the presence of interpretive soil stations. Each of the three stations provides a clear cross section of the soil types present along the various points of this lakeside trail.   The stations were designed by soil scientist Thomas Hansmeier who has developed similar instructive media for the Wilder Nature Center and other Minnesota parks.
