Jacksonville Arboretum and Gardens are a beautiful 120-acre nature preserve facility located on land formerly owned by the Humphries Gold Mining Company, which was converted into a public garden and arboretum facility in 2008. The arboretum is free and open to the public seven days a week between 8:00am and 5:00pm, offering more than three miles of beautiful woodland walking trails, including the easy Lake Loop Trail, the moderate-difficulty Upper and Lower Ravine Trail, and the more strenuous Jones Creek Trail. Trails showcase diverse ecosystems, with ancient and national champion live oak trees, native blueberries, and Florida azaleas showcased along the way. Benches and picnic tables are provided for visitor use, with interpretive signs elaborating on plant species.
