​HOW TO GET THERE

The best place to see the lilies in Alabama is at the Cahaba River National Wildlife Refuge. See the location on map below. The refuge is just a short drive from Birmingham and Tuscaloosa and makes a terrific day trip.

​

WHEN TO GO

The best time for viewing the lilies can vary from year to year. Typically mid-to-late May is ideal, but water level and other factors can affect the start of blooming. Watch our Facebook page for updates on how the lilies are progressing through the month of May.

The best time to see the lilies is whenever you can! Pick a date (or two) and plan your trip.
