Follow Rt 317 to Welton Rd. just over the Woodbury/Roxbury line. Follow Welton Rd. and take a left onto Old Tophet Rd. Follow down to fork where you will take a left. Go down a dirt unmaintained road to the parking area.
From the parking area head down the BLUE trail. The trail will fork, go left passed the vine bench. Follow the trail passing a Mtn. Laurel grove on the left and the beginings of a swamp on the right. The trail will eventually veer to the left with a stonewall on your left. There will be a trailhead for the RED trail. Take the RED trail. You will go up a small steep hill, at the top the trail veers left towards the stonewall. This is very faintly marked. Go through the opening on the stonewall. Follow the trail through a series of steep climbs and gradual decents. Eventually you will come to a swampy area with a small boardwalk. At the end of the boardwalk take 25 paces. Turn right to face a hill covered by a rock crop. Walk to the base of the hill. There will be two horizontal downed trees. Inbetween the two trees there are two large quartz. Under the quartz you will find the lily. Please make sure to cover the box back up with rocks and leaves when finished.
If you continue on the RED trail it will loop back to the blue trail. Once you see markers for the BLUE trail go straight and it will take you back to the parking area. The red trail is 1 mile. The blue loop is 1.5 miles.
