Route Description for Haywire Bay to Lost Lake Hike
The trek from Haywire Bay to Lost Lake is a relaxing adventure through the deep woods northeast of Powell River that will allow you to reconnect with nature and forget about the outside world. The route sets out from the trailhead and you immediately get the sense of being completely surrounded by the thick cover of the trees.
Follow the trail in a counterclockwise direction to make your way through the moss and fern covered forest to the swampy shores of Lost Lake. This body of water isn’t really suitable for swimming due to the marshy conditions, so hikers looking for better lakeside access should try some of the hiking trails around Inland Lake to the east.
Continue around the marshy edges of Lost Lake and take in the amazing views across the calm water. After working around the northern edge of the lake, follow the trail to the south as you continue through the forest on a path leading you back towards the trailhead where you began.
