Yellow pond lilies blanket Swan Lake in July and August
Written by Vacation Idea.com Travel Editors.
From the Hermitage Point Trailhead, located at the south end of the Colter Bay Visitor Center, trails lead to Swan Lake and Heron Pond.
The trail from Hermitage Point Trailhead to Swan Lake leads past numerous wildflowers. Swan Lake is nestled in lodgepole pine forests and covered with yellow pond lilies, especially favored by beavers.
The 3-mile Swan Lake - Heron Pond loop is quite flat and takes approximately 3 hours to complete. Parts of the trail are in the shade which is quite welcoming in the summer.
