Very popular 5.8-mile out-and-back hike. 1,420 ft elevation gain. Excellent place for trout fishing. Camping allowed if you'd rather stay, fish, and explore. Or continue on to Huckleberry Creek, Island Lake, & Silver Lake.
Mystic Lake is the second deepest lake in the Beartooth Mountains, the deepest being Deep Lake. It has the largest sandy beach in the Absaroka-Beartooth Wilderness. The Montana Power Company utilizes the power of this large lake and has a dam present. Mystic Lake supports a rainbow trout fishery. Hiking the three-mile trail up to Mystic Lake provides views of West Rosebud Valley and a few other lakes.
