Lily Lake is a lake that is somewhat rectangular and it has a small cove on its western side. It is contained within the Lily Lake Golf Resort, which is a private retirement golf community along US Highway 27. The lake is about 2 miles (3,200 m) southwest of Frostproof, Florida. Lily Lake has a 9.78-acre (39,600 m2) surface area. This lake is manmade, possibly being dredged or excavated. It has part of the community's nine-hole golf course along part of its shore. It also has some park benches and paved walking trails along its shore.[1][2][3]

There is no public access to Lily Lake, but the Hikercentral.com website says those who pay an entrance fee may use very small boats and fish the lake. The Hook and Bullet website has no information about the lake and therefore this site has no information about the types of fish in the lake.[4]
