On snowy winter days, try trail running in the ski tracks . It's nice and smooth. Kidding. The skiers don't like that.

Travis Burton

Sundays you can drive through. If you deduce to walk the gorgeous paths, then I would recommend wearing boots because the paths can get rather muddy.

Mark Kennedy

I suggest you stick to the trails ... Unless you don't mind a muddy foot.

MR Rice

Bring your hiking boots - over 20 miles worth of trails !

Don't let the name fool you, this is not a manicured planting of trees . The is a prairie that represents what much of low lying Wisconsin would have looked like much of the time.

Didn't know there are wild turkeys living in the arboretum!
