Bring Your Horse and See the Arboretum on Horseback

The Bridle Trail  provides a unique way to enjoy the Arboretum grounds. Approximately 7-1/2 miles long, the Bridle Trail traverses farm fields, mature woodlots, and skirts a small wetland area. 

The Bridle Trail is open for horses and hikers dawn to dusk, 365 days a year.
