Lily Pond Nature Trail Details

Start at the Loomis Museum parking area, and take the trail for a leisurely one-mile stroll around Reflection Lake and Lily Pond. Pick up an interpretive brochure at the trailhead to learn about the flora, fauna, and geological features you'll encounter along the way. Follow an abandoned road that winds along the western side of the lake. This road will eventually turn to single track as you approach the lake shore. The loop will return you to the parking area at the museum.
