Parking

Alternative parking for Hidden Lake Gardens in Onsted.

If the main lot is full or you prefer entering from a different trailhead, this second parking area serves the gardens as an overflow and alternate-access point. Open Tuesday through Sunday from 9 AM to 5 PM (closed Mondays). Standard paved lot with plenty of spots, no meter, no app - just find a space and go.

Restrooms and a gift shop are nearby, so you can grab anything you need before heading out. Your choice of parking depends on which part of the gardens you want to explore first or how crowded the main lot is on your visit day. Breweries and wineries in the Irish Hills area (about 3.5 km away) make good pairing stops if you're building a full day. Hidden Lake Gardens is 10-15 minutes from Tecumseh - check mitecumseh.com for more on the gardens and other things to do in the Tecumseh area.
