Palmetto Multi-sensory Trail 0.33 mile loop “…this trail offers many interpretative stops that educate visitors about the natural world here at the Arboretum.”
Alice Brown Loop/ Ravine Overlook 0.5 mile “...this short loop parallels the driveway and leads to a small pond. Along the way, be sure to stop at the Ravine Overlook Deck where you’ll have a bird’s eye view of the forest from the canopy above to a stream below.”
There are several other trails which look as if they might be easy walking. Call the center to learn more.
