About Lost Creek State Park

Lost Creek State Park sits in a narrow canyon with pale limestone walls and pink-and-white granite formations rising far above the valley floor. The highlight is Lost Creek Falls in the northwest corner, reached by a short hike, where water drops about 50 feet. Visitors often watch the cliffs for golden eagles, bighorn sheep, and pika. Those wanting more can follow a Forest Service trail that runs for miles beside the creek through forest and meadow. Campsites, fishing, picnicking, bicycling, and wildlife watching are also available.
