Lily Lake Trail Wedding Site

Max Number in Party: 20

Number of Vehicles Allowed: 5

Visitation Levels: Heavy

Location: Lily Lake is located off Highway 7 approximately 6.4 miles from the Beaver Meadows Visitor Center on the east side of the park.

Description: Lily Lake Trail provides stunning views of Longs Peak, Lily Mountain, and Twin Sisters Peak, and Mummy Range in the distance. This is a great spot for finding wildlife as the trail takes you through a wetland area. Numerous benches and a viewing dock are along the trail. There are two trail bridges, one dock, and a boardwalk along the trail. Note: Ceremonies cannot occur at the dock or any picnic tables along the lake's edge with this permit.

Restrooms: Yes. Two vault toilets with hand sanitizer in the parking lot.

Special Site Restrictions: This permit does not give access to the dock for ceremonies. Do not block the trail for other visitors. We recommend using the “pull-off” areas where benches are located.

Mobility Impairment Accessibility: Yes.
