Lost Lake is found by going up Galatea Trail for about 4 km. There are two bridges one crosses the creek to the left and almost immediately another goes back across to the right. At this bridge the trail is visible on your left.

Shortly come to a dry creek. Look right down the creek for cairn on log and flagging to pick up the trail again. Trail is blocked by deadfall in numerous places. As you skirt by downed trees keep an eye on the trail ahead so as to not lose it. The trail is visible and worn all the way to the lake.

As we were scouting out a route to go over Rummel Pass we went around the lake and looked for a trail through the trees and bush. We did not find one until we came across dry waterfall. So maybe follow the dry creek to this point. Then walk left of creek /waterfall around a large rocky mound. A trail is now seen going up. Follow trail and flagging we placed to come through clear of the trees. We went up to a bench with a big erratic boulder and turned around. Confident that it would be possible to go through to Rummel Lake.
