Lost Echo Lake
Lost Echo Lake is a beautiful recreational lake on the [far West side of Narrow Hills Provincial Park](/narrow-hills-provincial-park/) just past [Piprell Lake](/piprell-lake/). It's surrounded by trees and is nestled in a glacier-formed valley in the Cub Hills. Access to the lake is a pretty rough road off of Highway 913, the road has been improved from what it was like, but can still be very rough to travel on.
**Note: the lake was hit by the SHOE Fire and was closed for the entire 2025 season. I haven't been able to get in since the fire, and I'm not sure what things look like now.**
There is a provincial park campground at the lake with a number of non-electric sites, a primitive boat launch, outhouses, and a fish filleting station. There is no cell service at the lake. The lake can be quite shallow in areas, and the boat launch is quite primitive as well.
*Reminder that the campsites need to be booked in advance* and you won't be able to do it at the lake because there is no cell service. Plan ahead and book your sites online or by phone before heading to the campground. You can also book a campsite at Lost Echo in person at the [Park Office at Lower Fishing Lake](/lower-fishing-lake/).
The lake's outflow (Lost Echo Creek) was originally stocked with brook trout way back in 1934 and continues to be stocked with both Brook Trout and Brown Trout. In the lake itself, you'll find Northern Pike, Walleye, and Yellow Perch.
Water flows into the Lost Echo Lake via [Caribou Creek from Summit Lake](/summit-lake/). From the lake, Caribou Creek continues down to Lower Echo, Upper Fishing Lake, and then Lower Fishing Lake. It's possible to paddle both up stream and down stream from the lake depending on the time of year and water level. Heading down stream you can get a smaller boat or canoe into [Lower Echo Lake](/lower-echo-lake/) if you're able to portage/carry it a bit.
