Plan with
Confidence
Regardless of extended daylight hours in the summer, the park closes at 7 p.m. CST and all cars still left in the lot will be ticketed and/or towed. No swimming is allowed in Hidden Lake, but fishing is permitted.
Path Type
Point to Point
An easy .7 mile out-and-back trail in the Hidden Lake tract of Harpeth Valley State Park (1.4 miles total). The trailhead is clearly marked at the parking lot and begins by heading away from the Harpeth River into a marked path through tall grass. Unfortunately, there are some unmarked cut-throughs leading to the nearby Blue Bird Loop Trail, which can be confusing for a first-timer. The key is to stay to the left by the tree line and not take any route heading through the field. Upon reaching the wooded area, however, the trail is very clearly marked and easy to follow.
