One of the most gorgeous places I've seen. Walk the trails , explore the gardens , check out the interactive displays... There's something for everyone, even if you just want a magical space to breathe.

Chickadees will feed from your hand . The arboretum has trees well marked. This is a real nature realm, with plenty of activity.

Bill Fox

Another jewel in the crown of Summit Metro Parks . Take sunflower seeds and feed the chickadees right out of your palm.

Cherry Lane Trail is an easy-to-travel loop that connects to Fernwood Trail at a 110-foot-long suspension bridge , taking visitors across a 45-foot-deep ravine.
