Convenient Transportation to the Trailhead

In the Adirondacks and the Lake Placid area in particular, hiking is a beautiful and fulfilling activity that many people enjoy. Due to the popularity of this activity, especially on weekends and when fall color brightens the landscape, parking lots at and near trailheads can fill up quickly. Taking a hiker shuttle simplifies parking and provides convenient transportation to and from select trailheads.

Town of Keene Hiker Shuttle

Also known as the Garden Shuttle, the Town of Keene Hiker Shuttle transports hikers from Marcy Field to The Garden Parking Lot on Saturdays and Sundays from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. in the summer and fall, typically from July 4th weekend through Indigenous Peoples' Day weekend. The shuttle picks hikers up in the southwest corner of Marcy Field on Airport Road.

The cost for a round-trip ride on the shuttle is $10 USD ($13 Canadian), cash only. The fee collected goes to paying for road and parking lot maintenance, porta-potties, and staffing. 

Some of the hikes accessible from this shuttle are:

Why take the shuttle?

Why not? There are several reasons to take the shuttle and they're all fantastic.

  • It's better for the environment! Fewer cars on the road means less pollution and better, cleaner air. That means better hiking and a healthier, happier experience for all.
  • Skip the worry about parking. The Adirondacks are much adored and parking lots at trailheads can get crowded. This way, there's no worry!
  • Save your money! By saving on gas, you can enjoy a less expensive day out.
  • You can relax. When someone else does the driving, you can enjoy the stunning scenery.

Parking at The Garden

The Garden is open for vehicle parking as well, but spaces are limited and they fill up quickly and early, especially on holiday weekends and during fall foliage. Parking is $10/day and there is a self-service payment system. If you choose to park at The Garden, please be patient and considerate of other visitors and parking lot attendants. The lot can get congested, but by keeping calm and working together, everyone can enjoy a pleasant trailhead experience.

When the Garden is full, please park in the Rooster Comb parking lot on Route 73.  Please do not park on narrow streets in Keene Valley or block access to homes.
