The Secret Side Path (Japanese: カクレ抜け道Kakure Secret Path) is a location on Florio Island of the Lental region. It was added in the version 2.0.0 update to New Pokémon Snap on August 4, 2021.
It is unlocked by scanning a tree near the lake of Florio Nature Park. After playing through the stage for the first time, the stage is added to the course map.
The player shrinks and starts in an area in the Florio Nature Park with Wurmple, Pichu and Scorbunny. A Dodrio then later appears and scares away Pichu and Scorbunny. The player then rides on an Emolga to a mushroom area with Shroomish. The course then continues into a log and then under a Torterra. The Dodrio then later appears to scare Pichu and Scorbunny twice after exiting the log. After this, several Torterra roar and scare away the Dodrio, which excites Pichu and Scorbunny. The NEO-ONE then returns to its normal size and appears at the flower fields in the nature park. The course is mostly unchanged during the night, though some of the Pokémon are different.
Alternate route
By scanning at the grass at the start of the level, the player will unlock an alternate route that leads to Snorlax's den.
