The Blandy Bridle Trail
See the Arboretum On Horseback!
The Bridle Trail provides a unique way to enjoy the Arboretum grounds. Approximately 4-1/2 miles long, the Bridle Trail traverses farm fields, mature woodlots, and skirts a small wetland
area. Suggested donation per ride: Thank you. Enjoy your ride!
Stay alert for hazards such as uneven ground and groundhog holes. Be aware that trail conditions are affected by the season and may change. Some areas of the Arboretum may be very wet and unsuitable for walking or
riding.
This trail was designed, constructed, and is maintained by volunteers with the Foundation of the State Arboretum. Donations are welcome, and will be used to help defray costs for maintenance, signs, and brochures.
$5 adults, $2 under 12.
(A donation box is located in the paddock.)
Organized group rides/drives must be coordinated through the Arboretum office. Please call
