Before you go

This ends at an Arboretum entrance, not a full Arboretum loop; add more time if you want to walk inside.

These are desk-researched route ideas, not field-tested turn-by-turn or accessibility guides. Use the walking map, follow signs and crossings, and check current conditions and opening hours.
