The Long Dark

Community Map shows all regions By Krueger

Mystery Lake is the first region available in Survival Mode and one of The Long Dark's primary starting regions. It is a relatively warm, hilly inland park centered around Mystery Lake, a freshwater lake/reservoir for Carter Hydro Dam, and bisected by the Trans-Island Railway Line. The region is considered beginner-friendly: rich in resources, lower in dangerous wildlife than many other regions, and offering many shelters, cabins, trailers, caves, ice fishing, foraging, hunting, and trapping. Main connections: Forlorn Muskeg via the Rail Tunnel; The Ravine toward Coastal Highway near Carter Hydro Dam; Winding River/Pleasant Valley through Carter Hydro Dam; and Mountain Town via a cave near Trapper's Homestead. Notable base locations include Camp Office, Trapper's Homestead, and Carter Hydro Dam. Source: The Long Dark Wiki / Fandom, Mystery Lake (region).
