Lily Lake lies along Colorado Highway 7 south of Estes Park. It is surrounded by a handicapped accessible trail that is probably the flatest trail in Colorado. Technically, it is within Rocky Mountain National Park, but it is accessed from a parking lot that is right beside the highway. It's a popular picnicing and fishing spot in the summer. On a clear winter day, with the contrasts provided by the dark green trees, rocks, and snow, the beautiful Colorado blue sky just POPS!
Hungry after your walk on the trail, but don't want to picnic by the lake? The famous Baldpate Inn is just across the highway--from May thru October you can check out their dining room for a fantastic soup, salad, and pie lunch buffet:
