Winter is a great time to visit the Arboretum and experience the beauty of the grounds in a whole new way. Visitors can check out Three-Mile Walk or Three-Mile Drive. Please note that all visitors need a general daily admission ticket to use the trails and conditions are subject to change based on the weather. We do sand and salt roads/walkways, but travel is at your own risk. Please leave plants undisturbed and follow the signs.
