Hidden Lake Picnic Area
Several old dirt roadways and footpaths circle this quiet lake on a fairly level walk of about 2 miles. Start a counterclockwise tour from the south end of the beach and picnic area parking lot, and stay on slightly higher ground away from the lakeshore. On the west shore of the lake, pass an old lodge and follow its access road north. Turn west to follow the lakeshore. Cross the footbridge to the path on top of the dam to return to the beach and picnic area.
Directions
Hidden Lake Road is roughly parallel to River Road, but farther inland from the river. From the traffic light on Route 209 at the Fernwood Resort in Bushkill PA, turn east (a right turn if northbound) onto River Road and continue 1.5 miles around a sharp turn to the right. Bear immediately right onto Hidden Lake Road.
From River Road, continue past park headquarters on the right 300 yards and then turn very hard right onto Hidden Lake Road.
Once on Hidden Lake Road, continue 2.25 miles, past a small parking area on the left along the dam, to the picnic area entrance on the left, which has a sign.
