Lily Lake Natural Area is an Alberta Parks natural area in the Central region. The official page places it 15 kilometres south of Cherhill and lists no developed day-use area count.
Alberta Parks classifies the site as a natural area under the Wilderness Areas, Ecological Reserves, Natural Areas and Heritage Rangelands Act. The listed size is 424.98 acres, or 171.991 hectares.
Lily Lake is a low-service natural area for visitors researching dry mixedwood habitat and permitted hunting access south of Cherhill. Alberta Parks surfaces hunting as the activity and links to hunting in Alberta's parks system, Alberta Hunting Regulations, and licence purchasing.
The park-management section gives the main natural context. Alberta Parks places the site in the Boreal Forest - Dry Mixedwood Natural Region and describes rolling topography with numerous wet depressions, mixed forests of aspen, balsam poplar, and white spruce, willow shrublands, and black spruce and tamarack wetlands with Labrador tea and dwarf birch.
The official page does not list camping, day-use facilities, a marked trail network, beach access, or a visitor centre. That means Lily Lake should be planned as a self-reliant protected-area outing rather than a developed recreation stop.
Special permit categories include agricultural grazing or haying, commercial filming and photography, fishing, guiding or outfitting, hunting, industrial activity, scientific research and collection, special events, and trapping.
Plan around hunting where permitted, dry mixedwood habitat observation, wetland awareness, permit checks, map review, and low-impact natural area travel.
Confirm access, boundaries, hunting seasons, licences, special permits, wetland conditions, maps, advisories, weather, and current Alberta Parks guidance before travelling.
