Setting
Lost Creek State Park encompasses 502 acres at 6,211 feet elevation in a dramatic canyon framed by grey limestone cliffs and pink-and-white granite formations rising 1,200 feet. The centerpiece is Lost Creek Falls, cascading over a 50-foot drop, with Forest Service trails winding several miles along the creek through forests and meadows. The campground provides 25 sites on a first-come, first-served basis (max 23-foot trailers) with vault toilets, water access, grills, fire rings, and ADA accessibility. A camp host is present from Memorial Day through Labor Day. The park operates mid-May through November.
