Hike details: Join fellow hikers on a 4.5-mile hike on Lost Canyon and Stephens Falls Trails. The trail is rated moderate as it has several steep grades. You will encounter mostly wooded areas and will journey into scenic Lost Canyon which is fed by Stephen’s Falls. You will be able to view Stephens Falls, a highlight of the park, from below and above the falls. The hike should take approximately two hours. Due to the potential for wet conditions, wear sturdy footwear that you don’t mind getting wet or dirty. Also, bring drinking water. There will be refreshments available after the hike. Meet at Cox Hollow Lake Shelter West (by the sandy beach). Be ready to start hiking at 10:00 a.m. sharp!
Cost: Park entrance fee or annual sticker for the vehicle required. Canoe or kayak rental if you choose to explore by water.
