Lake Wilderness Arboretum is open to the public every day from dawn to dusk – especially during the holidays. Admission is free and free parking is available in the Arboretum lot near the front entrance, in designated parking space along the access road and at Lake Wilderness Park.A welcome kiosk near the Arboretum entrance contains maps and brochures. You, your family and your pets can enjoy walking all five acres of gardens and 37 acres of forest trails. Most garden paths are stroller- and wheelchair-accessible while natural stone stairs take visitors to forest trails. Lake Wilderness Arboretum’s six unique display gardens celebrate the Northwest landscape and are created, transformed and maintained by dedicated volunteers for almost 50 years.

Benches are located throughout the property and a covered gazebo offers seating. Find public restrooms at Lake Wilderness Park.

To protect the gardens, open fires, camping, alcohol, drugs, dirt bikes, ATVs and organized sports are not allowed on Arboretum grounds and leash/scoop laws apply to pets.
