Parking reservations (ParkPass)

Reserve a parking space now!

Parking reservations are required to park in the McCurdy Drive parking lot in Lion's Head and in the Little Cove parking lot on Little Cove Road.

Parking reservation details

  • Lion’s Head (McCurdy Drive lot) – 4 Hour Pass:  $20; Reservations required (May 15-Oct 15)
  • Lion’s Head (McCurdy Drive lot) – Full Day Pass: $30; Reservations required (May 15-Oct 15) Full-day reservations must be made at least 1 day in advance.

If the McCurdy Drive lot is full, visitors are encouraged to park at the Lion’s Head Arena and take the shuttle to the McCurdy Drive lot to start their Lion’s Head hike.

  • Little Cove Rd - 4 Hour Pass: $20 regularly; parking for Little Cove is now by online reservation through the Park Pass Project system. Parking will be available in 4-hour time slots, and you will also be required to display proof of a Parks Canada Discovery Pass or parking pass from another Parks Canada location from that day. If you do not yet have a Parks Canada Pass, you can purchase a day-use pass through the online booking platform. 
Important Note: All residents must still book a parking spot online. If you have a valid resident parking pass assigned to your vehicle, select: "Municipality Resident" under the "Visitor Type" drop down list and parking costs will be waived.

The McCurdy Drive parking lot (accessed via Moore Street, Lion's Head) is one of the primary access points for the Lion’s Head Lookout Trail. It is a small parking lot, and often full or quite busy. To improve the visitor experience, the Municipality is working with the Park Pass Project to facilitate online bookings for the parking lot. If you plan ahead, you can ensure you have access to this lot for your next hiking adventure!
