This is one fantastic park/ museum. The scenery is real good. Be worth going back. This place is peaceful and quiet you looking for something pleasant close to nature

Beautiful arboretum with lush landscapes and amazing views of the water. Well worth the $8 parking fee. The pictures online don't do it justice.

One of my favorite parks in the Island. The landscaping is supreme and the groundskeepers are always on point. They are like barbers who don’t miss a hair or in this case a blade of grass. Winter , Spring, Simmer Fall - This is my go to for a nice walk with may Terrains ( grass, sand, pebbles, concrete. Your legs will get a workout if you choose

A sprawling, beautiful park, well maintained with many points of interest. Several paths both paved and dirt all surrounded with beauty. Looks like they grow and sell produce during summer and eggs year round. The main house is filled with history and the cafe has a large selection of pastry/scones/muffins plus soups and light food. Great views to sit with family/friends and talk over a pot of tea. Can't wait to go back in the spring

Yes, they have a summer music schedule. Concerts are by the Carriage House.
This arboretum is very manicured and has a number of "paths" one can choose to walk. I would not consider them to be "hiking trails" such as you would find at a nature preserve or refuge. The paths are very easy to navigate meaning I would find it difficult to get lost here. Most of the paths are flat and open. Some less traveled paths can be quite damp so a more protective foot wear would be recommended during these times. The information center can provide you with grounds maps should you desire them.
I am sorry but you need to direct that question to the town..
There is a flat 8$ fee for parking. They used to collect at a booth but now there are meters. I believe you need to feed the meter beginning mid Spring
There are free tours of the grounds by knowledgeable Arboretum staff every Saturday starting at 11 am.
I believe it is $8 per vehicle to park, but free to enter
Plenty of room to run. A magnificent tree to take pictures UNDER. flowers blooming, wildlife to look at and a small island to walk on.
The Hidden Oak Cafe is very nice. Great sandwiches, great soup, and great quiche! You can't beat the view from the porch either.
As far as I know, current knowledge from the DEC: There was a high concentration in the river this year of a particular naturally occurring bacteria. Due to an equally high population of the local bunker fish, the infection rates were higher than usual, leading to an unfortunate mass die off. The fish population will recover, and the local wildlife that eats the fish considered this a particular generous year.
