Recreation opportunities abound at, around, and not too far from the lake. Whether you are into biking, hiking, fishing, sailing, bird-watching, art and culture, or roasting marshmallows over an open fire, the Lost Creek Lake is for you.

In and around the lake there are miles of hiking trails and paths to explore, Crater Lake National Park is 30 minutes away, the Pacific Crest Trail runs close by, the new Cascade-Siskyou National Monument with its spectacular variety of rare and beautiful species of plants and animals borders the south end of the lake, the Lower Klamath Refuge and Lava Beds National Monument are an hour-and-a-half by car, and of course there is beautiful Ashland and Jacksonville with all their culture which are both an easy day-trip away.
