When submitting eBird observations at Lily Bay State Park, it is most helpful to start a new checklist for each hotspot within the park. Use the general hotspot when you have a checklist that includes multiple locations or if no other hotspot or personal location is appropriate for your sightings.

Established in 1961, Lily Bay State Park was created primarily from woodland donated to the State by Scott Paper Company.

Lily Bay State Park is open from 9:00 a.m. to sunset daily, unless otherwise posted at the gate. Fee Charged. Visitors may continue to enjoy the park during the off-season by parking outside the gate and walking in during these same hours. Please be aware that facilities are closed during the off-season. Winter gate opening is just after the first plowable snow until the snow leaves. The Park is plowed to the toll booth area. The park offers snowmobile, snowshoe, and groomed cross-country ski trails with access to Moosehead Lake.
