Lily Pad Lake Trail

Whether walked in its entirety with a shuttled car parked at the trail’s end, or simply as a lake destination returning via the same route, the Lily Pad Lake Trail promises a delightful day hike for every hiker. Because the lake is located in the Eagle’s Nest Wilderness, bicycles are not permitted here—a refreshing change for a trail located close to an urban area. Don’t let the first 100-yard climb up the access road near the Wildernest subdivision discourage little hikers.
