From Nanaimo Parkway (highway 19) turn onto Mostar Rd. Continue straight, crossing the Island highway, the road will become Rutherford rd. Turn right onto Vanderneuk road, after a few hundred meters it will turn into Lost Lake road. The parking lot is on the right hand side and the trail starts there.
The Trail
Lost Lake trail is a 1 km loop around Lost Lake. The trail is wide and well groomed, with boardwalks and lookout platforms. It’s not great for strollers or wheelchairs because the lookout platforms are part of the trail and require you climb stairs. Another option would be to walk to the lookout and double back, as the trail itself could be done with a stroller/wheelchair. Lost Lake is in the Linley Valley area and provides access trails to Cottle Lake park and the rest of the Linley Valley trail system.
