About this place

A trail climbs to Little Lost Lake, in the Widow Mountain Wilderness Study Area. The lake is small, shallow and alpine, and there are no fish in it.

You can camp there on undeveloped ground.

The trail starts as a two-track road. ATVs and motorcycles can use the first mile or so. After that they cannot.

What is near here

A few more of our own spots are within reach of this one, along with some better-known places.

Every distance on this page is the driving distance. A short distance can still take a long time. The road may be closed for the season, covered in snow, or washed out. Many of these roads are dirt. Plan your route before you leave home. Out here there is often no phone signal to look it up on the way.

Nearest town and supplies

Osburn is big enough that you’d normally expect fuel and somewhere to buy food. Nobody from here has been to check, so don’t count on it if you’re running low.

Fees and access change, and the records do not always keep up. If you have been, tell us what you found.

The thing we cannot get from any government record is what the drive in is actually like. If you have done it, this is the most useful thing you can leave behind. We read everything before it appears, and we print a first name with it if you give one.

Where this information comes from

The description on this page is ours. The facts in it, and the fee and facility details below it, come from the Bureau of Land Management’s own records, read in August 2026.
