Lost Lake North Viewpoint Look Down

avatar
@zachnichols
This emerald-green lake, surrounded by lush forest, is a true nature lover's dream. Take in majestic views of Mount Hood's jaw-dropping glaciers while serenely rowing through sparkling alpine waters. (before flying a drone, check and follow local drone regulations and permit requirements)

How to get there

N45° 29' 44.8224"W121° 49' 20.8776"
The drone image of my friend kayaking on Lost Lake was taken from the Lost Lake North Viewpoint parking lot, which is along the Lakeshore Trailhead. To get this perspective, I stood in the parking lot and flew my drone south over the lake. From the parking area, there's a staircase that leads down to the beach where your subject can kayak. Directions: - From OR-281 S (Dee Highway) - Take OR-281 S (Dee Highway) to the Lost Lake Rd exit, and turn left onto Lost Lake Rd - Stay on Lost Lake Rd/NF-13 for about 13 miles - Slight right onto N F Dev Rd 1340 - Turn right onto North Rd - Pass the Lost Lake Resort and turn left to stay on North Rd - The road will dead end at the Lost Lake North Viewpoint/Lakeshore Trailhead parking lot
