Lily Fest 2008

To celebrate the peak bloom of the rare Rocky Shoals Spider Lily, Landsford Canal State Park and the Katawba Valley Land Trust invite you to an afternoon full of music and activities as you experience the breathtaking beauty of the Rocky Shoals Spider Lily. A short walk (3/4 mile one way) down our historic Canal Trail takes you to the overlook where you are in the midst of a true wonder of nature. This is the largest population of spider lilies in the world and they cover this area of the Catawba River in a blanket of white! Back at the main area, musical groups play on the porch of the historical log house while other activities are available to the public. Bring a lawn chair or blanket. Drinks and snacks will be available.
