1. Lake Lily Marker
The historic road around Late Lily was first used as a Native American path. During the Second Seminole War, it became a military supply route between Fort Mellon (now Sanford) and Fort Gatlin (now Orlando.) Ft. Maitland (located East of the park) was built as a resting stop on this route. This important route became the first grouted brick road in the State of Florida in 1916. Lake Lily and its historic road have always been at the center of activity in the area from its origin as a watering hole, to its use for laundering clothes during the nineteenth century (then known as St. John's Hole.) Today, it is used for recreation, history, education, and community festivals. Enjoy your visit to historic Lake Lily Park.Topics.
