Explanation
A 'lyre' is an ancient stringed musical instrument, which cannot be something a lake is 'for' hikers. The sentence needs a noun meaning an attraction or draw, which is 'lure'. 'Link', 'line' and 'life' do not convey the idea of the lake drawing adventurous hikers to it. 'Lure' correctly expresses that the mountain lake attracts intrepid hikers.
