Lily Pad Lake
AI-suggested draft · review before you go
Lily Pad Lake is a 3.3-mile out-and-back trail located in Colorado near the Pikes Peak area within Pike-San Isabel National Forest. This moderate hike follows Pike-San Isabel National Forest trails managed by the Pikes Peak Ranger District. The trail leads hikers to Lily Pad Lake, a scenic alpine destination popular with both day hikers and photographers. The out-and-back format means you'll retrace your route on the return journey, making it straightforward to navigate. The area sits within the Pike-San Isabel National Forest, one of Colorado's most accessible high-country destinations. The forest offers cooler temperatures and mountain scenery characteristic of the Pikes Peak region. This hike is suitable for those seeking a moderate-distance mountain experience without requiring technical skills. Given the location within Pike-San Isabel National Forest, hikers should check current conditions and any fire restrictions with the Pikes Peak Ranger District before heading out. Standard trail etiquette and Leave No Trace principles apply to all forest visitors.
