Lilypons Water Gardens – permanently closed to birding
6800 Lily Pons Road, Adamstown, MD 21710
It is with great sadness that we report that Lilypons Water Gardens closed permanently on March 28, 2025 and the property has been sold to a private buyer who does not intend to operate the water gardens business. Note that the property is enrolled in the Frederick County Rural Legacy Program, and so cannot be developed. The private property is no longer open to birding. Please do not trespass.
The Maryland Ornithological Society expresses its gratitude to the Koogle-Thomas family, previous Lilypons owners, for their gracious hospitality to many generations of birders.
Note that if you bird the area from the road, you may post your checklist to the nearby hotspot Lily Pons Rd. (179+ species) or to a newer hotspot located at the bridge over the Monocacy River, Monocacy at Lilypons (86+ species).
