Naylor Lake, itself, is on private property. There is a private road from the parking lot leading straight to its banks, but this route isn't open to the public. There's a viewing area from up above on the Silver Dollar Lakes Trail.

This is a super popular hike, and the upper parking lot can fill up quickly. If you don't beat the crowds, just park in the lower lot at Guanella Pass Road and add a little less than a mile of road walking at the start and finish.
