Southeast from Detroit lake in forest hills lies a hidden gem for canyoneering, Lost Creek. Following Forest Road 075 until it ends, you will hike straight down to a side tributary to Lost Creek. Shortly after following the creek, there is a gorgeous 60 foot waterfall. This can be rappelled down from a tree on the left. Right after the large waterfall is a 10 foot falls that you can rappel down into a shallow pool. Once it joins Lost Creek, the area changes and becomes wider and more shallow until reaching the gorge. The water in the gorge must be low to continue as there are some narrow sections. In the gorge, the first rappel is about 25 feet next to a waterfall. The second is sloping, about 60 feet, and goes over a few small falls in a narrow chute. The third is about 20 feet at a log jam. Natural anchors exist abundantly. Scrambling just a bit more leads to a small hike out to the bridge of Forest Road 10 where you should have a shuttle car. Recommended to use a 160 foot rope and 60 feet of webbing.
