6. Lost Lake Trailhead
Seward, Alaska2 Reviews•12 Photos•9 SavesThe Lost Lake Trail is a segment of the longer Iditarod National Historic Trail (INHT). Lost Lake Trailhead gives access to alpine/subalpine areas within 4 miles. First 2 miles through dense conifer forest opening up dramatically to open mountainsides. For backpacking, there is 15 mile hike through combined with Primrose Trail. Off trail hiking opportunities in neighboring valleys and ridges around Lost Lake.
Camping on Lost Lake is recommended at the designated campsites, some of which are equipped with bear boxes and pit toilets. Backpackers are strongly encouraged not to camp on the Lost Lake peninsulas so that tundra can grow back.
Many good backcountry camping opportunities in alpine area surrounding Lost Lake. Practice good Leave No Trace ethics and camp out of sight of the trail and 200' from lakes and streams.

Moose Pass
Calm, large and free campsite at a lake.
Saw two seaplanes take off from the lake (take the Southern spot for this).
Hwy is loud but manageable, train as well.
Recommendable overnight position on the way to SEWARD.

Large open area, approx 25 miles from Seward
Moose Pass Trailhead
As with most BLM trailheads, zut services. Big area, some shaded mostly unshaded but big enough to have your own space
Seaplanes take off from lake during the day - pretty awesome
No onsite services. Seward offers free dump and potable water - near their RV parks
Starlink, Visible/Verizon and Cricket/Att all good

Lost Lake Trailhead
Just a parking lot
This spot is a parking lot outside of the trailhead. It’s really crowded. There is a bathroom on site and the drive up is not horrible. We made it up in our rear wheel drive van just fine. Want a bad spot just wasn’t anything very special about it.

Loved this spot!
We happened across this spot when taking a wrong turn. We loved it! Beach access through a short trail so we were able to explore and not a lot of road noise.

Need 4x4 for this road. Pack it in, pack it out.
The road after the sign is rough and a good 4 X 4 or ATV is recommended. This 7-mile hiking trail will take you to Lost Lake. After a 2-mile incline hike the trail opens up and levels off half way in.
The Forest service recommends that you camp on Lost Lake at designated campsites. This is bear country and some of the camp sites have bear boxes. There are also pit toilets but always pack your own TP. The Forest service ask that backpackers are strongly encouraged not to camp on the Lost Lake peninsulas so that tundra can grow back a reminder that FIRES ARE PROHIBITED in alpine areas.
Cell Service: at sign Internet: no 2020 Cost: free Distance from Anchorage: 110 miles Bug Factor (1 minimal to 10 too many to enjoy): 4-8 depends on weather

Decision Point Dispersed Camping
About a 5 mile ocean kayaking trip from Whittier, Alaska, tent platforms
A 5 mile paddle from Whittier, AK. Watch the weather waves can build up quickly. A number of tent platforms, 2 toilets and a few bear proof boxes. From this camp ground it is time to "decide" which way you want to go as the sound really opens up to you. There is fresh water but boil or filter it first. I think I must have camped here at least 30 or 40 times, most of it before tent platforms, toilets or bear containers. I've camped here May June July August
