The popular Garden Trailhead Parking Lot in the Adirondack High Peaks will be closed June 23, 24, and 25 for major repairs to the road.
“Apologies for the short notice,” town of Keene Supervisor Joe Pete Wilson to the New York Almanack. “Supervisor but contractor scheduling is difficult. The repairs should prevent the road from washing out and help avoid temporary closures when we get heavy rains. Thanks for your patience.”

The Garden Trailhead is reached by turning west from Route 73 onto Adirondack Street which turns into Johns Brook Lane. When it’s open, the parking lot has a capacity of around three dozen cars and is located about two miles from Route 73 at the end of Interbrook Way.
A parking fee of $5 per day helps to maintain winter plowing, upkeep and pay weekend attendants. When the lot reopens it can also be accessed by a seasonal shuttle to and from the southwest corner of Marcy Field. Further details regarding parking/shuttle rates are located here.
The town of Keene also maintains a webpage of tips for accessing the High Peaks from Keene Valley here.
