This trail starts off in Haywire Bay. See the previous Haywire Bay Photos for the tour around the campground. The times include the 13 minutes I spent touring the campground. The trail sets off next to Campsite #4, winding its way across clear cuts that have greened over and just adjacent to more recent clear cuts as it climbs over a ridge and descends next to Lost Lake. Newer bridge construction around Lost Lake and between Lost Lake and Inland Lake provide a view into the work of the B.O.M.B. Squad's much appreciated handiwork.

See the Inland Lake photos for the continuation of this trail to and around Inland Lake.

This entire trail section starts at 55 metres climbs to 175 metres and then descends to 90 metres around Inland Lake.
