Review & Frequenly Asked Questions:

The Viles Arboretum is open to the public every day of the week, from dawn until dusk. The 224-acre grounds include six miles of nature trails for guests to explore, all signed and marked. The trail leading to Viles Pond is a great introductory trail for visitors, leading them past a rock garden, and through the arboretum’s hosta garden before arriving at a pond alive with frogs, dragonflies, and birds. The Viles Arboretum is also home to the state’s largest permanent outdoor art display. Dogs are permitted on the grounds, however, they must be leashed and picked up after.
