The Lonesome Lake Hut is one of eight huts in the system. Only three receive visitors during the winter months. The Lonesome Lake is the easiest to reach in winter and is best suited for families. The hike is 1.5 miles long and strenuous at times. Snowshoes or crampons are strongly recommended.

The hike to Lonesome Lake Hut begins in the Lafayette Campground off of Interstate 93 in Franconia Notch State Park, just south of the Cannon Mountain Ski Area.
The Carter Notch and Zealand Falls Huts are also open in winter. Zealand Falls is the only hut of the three that can easily be reached using skies. The other two are best suited for people on snowshoes and only by the most experienced back country skiers.
