Hiking to Lonesome Lake high above Franconia Notch in the White Mountains of New Hampshire

Friday, August 18, 2023 14:04

% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.

The incredibly picturesque Lonesome Lake is surrounded by Franconia Notch State Park and the White Mountains National Forest just above Franconia Notch.

For our hike we began at the trailhead located at the Lafayette Place Campground just off of Interstate 93 and took the Lonesome Lake Trail towards Lonesome Lake.

The trail passes through the Lafayette Place Campground before beginning to climb up the side of Franconia Notch. After about 0.7 miles you’ll come to the trail junction with the Hi-Cannon Trail. Here, we turned right and followed the Hi-Cannon Trail for 0.8 miles to the Dodge Cut-Off. The 0.8 miles from the Lonesome Lake Trail to the Dodge Cut-Off are steep and climb quickly, but the trail is not overly difficult and is easy to follow. The Dodge Cut-Off takes you from the Hi-Cannon Trail to the trail junction with the Cascade Brook Trail and the Lonesome Lake Trail. We then followed the Lonesome Lake Trail around Lonesome Lake in a counterclockwise fashion before arriving at the Lonesome Lake Hut managed by the AMC.

After some snacks and a break, we then took the Fishing Jimmy Trail across the outlet of Lonesome Lake to the intersection with the Cascade Brook Trail and from there followed the Cascade Brook Trail to its intersection with the Lonesome Lake Trail, which we followed back down to the trailhead at the Lafayette Place Campground.

This hike is 3.75 miles with about 1,100 feet of elevation gain. This is a moderate hike.

Important Hiking Considerations:

Weather: Check the weather forecast before your hike and be prepared for changes in conditions. Weather can be unpredictable, so bring appropriate clothing and gear.
Safety: Some sections of the trail can be steep and rocky, so use caution and watch your footing. It’s also a good idea to hike with a friend or let someone know about your hiking plans.
Leave No Trace: As with any outdoor activity, remember to follow the principles of Leave No Trace. Pack out any trash, stay on the trail, and be respectful of the natural environment.
