Lost Lake is a high-altitude lake located in the Uinta Mountains of Utah. The lake is primarily fed by snowpack, which melts in the spring and summer months. Lost Lake is part of the Provo River watershed and provides water to the Provo River, which is a vital source of irrigation water for agricultural use in the region. The lake also supports recreational activities, such as fishing and camping. Lost Lake is part of the High Uintas Wilderness Area and has a rich history, with evidence of human habitation dating back over 10,000 years. The lake was named by early settlers in the area who believed it was a "lost" lake due to its hidden location. Despite its remote location, the lake is popular among outdoor enthusiasts and provides important ecosystem services to the surrounding area.
