Most of our areas remain open in the winter though some exceptions apply:
The F. R. Newman Arboretum is now closed to vehicle traffic during the winter months but pedestrians are welcome to explore the arboretum year-round. Parking is available at the Mundy Wildflower Garden parking lot off of Caldwell Road at the intersection with Forest Home Drive, directly across from the arboretum. View parking areas on our interactive map.
The trail through Cascadilla Gorge is now closed and will reopen in early May.
