Summary: A steady climb out of the valley, accompanied by the whine of cars and trucks on the highway below. The view from the lake is fantastic. The trails are a bit overused as the Hut is a big draw. When you reach the crest of the wall the trail become a bit muddy. For more information about the Lonesome Lake Hut see http://www.outdoors.org/lodging/huts/huts-lonesome.cfm Trailhead: The trailhead starts at the Lafyette Place Campground and on route 93. You can park on either side of 93. The trailhead is well marked and well traveled.

Reviewed by eileen on 11/1/2007 what a wonderful treat when we arrived closer to the hut. a huge lake at the top - very impressive !
Reviewed by Thea on 8/24/2007 I did this hike with my family last weekend and highly recommend this trail. My four years old had to made numerous rest but my ten years old had no trouble. The trail is very scenic all the way, with some rocky and fairly steep climb but not strenuous for anyone in good physical condition. Once you reach Lonesome Lake, you are well rewarded with a fantastic view of the whole Franconia Notch region and a refreshing swim at the lake from the swimming platform at the base of the AMC hut. Pack some food along and you can have a nice picnic there to fill you up for the hike down. Notice: Traveling in the backcountry can be hazardous.
