About This Trail

[Total: 0    Average: 0/5]

This is a beautiful trail outside of Rocky Mountain National Park. It’s right outside Estes Park and is perfect for a later afternoon stroll or one last quick trail before you leave town. The main loop around the lake is a flat .9 miles and ADA compliant. A jogging stroller would easily make it around the lake. The Lily Ridge Trail shoots off the main trail for an additional 1.1 miles.

Look out for fish, ducks and marmots swimming in the lake! And also be on the watch for bears, elk and moose!
