Hike the Jacksonville Arboretum

The Jacksonville Arboretum is a beautiful 120-acre urban woodland with three miles of easy trails.

• You can walk all three miles with us or bail out safely at several points if you want to walk less
• Kids are welcome
• Trails are beautiful and easy
• Trails aren't wheelchair or stroller friendly, but the short loop around the lake is.

We will meet at the entrance at 9:45 a.m. Bring insect repellent and water. Restrooms are available. Sorry, no pets.

* Help the environment by following these tips:
● Bring your water in a reusable container instead of a single-use plastic bottle
● Use sunscreen free of oxybenzone and octinoxate. These chemicals are extremely harmful to coral reefs, as well as being hormone disruptors in humans.
