About this campground
The Brookside-McCurdy Trail is an arterial route from south to north or vice versa through the Lost Creek Wilderness Area. It leads hikers through high elevation meadows, low grassy valleys, unusual granite rock formations, and varied forests all adding variety to the experience. The trail connects with seven other trails in Lost Creek: Colorado (segment 4), Craig Park, Hankins Pass, Lake Park, Lizard Rock, Ute Creek, and Wigwam. With a little planning, these trails can be combined with Brookside-McCurdy to form your own loop.
Getting there
1. From County Road 77, access the southern end of the trail at Twin Eagles Campground. 2. Follow County Road 56 south from US Highway 285 to the Lost Creek Campground where the trail can be accessed going north or south. 3. In the South Platte Ranger District the trail can be accessed from County Road 64 south of US HIghway 285 between Shawnee and Bailey.
