- Lakeview Trail – 0.3 miles The expressway to the Beaver Lake shore.
- Hemlock Hollow – 0.4 miles The name itself suggests what you will find – a cool and shaded hideaway.
- Pine Meadow – 0.5 miles An isolated meadow shielded by pines on one side and a mixed forest on the other makes a storybook setting for rabbits, woodchucks, and deer.
- Bog – 0.6 miles Our elevated boardwalk is your invitation to visit a habitat different from any other you may have experienced. Yellow warblers declare ownership from the tops of spindly alders while insect-eating pitcher plants and lady’s slipper orchids grace the soggy floor.

- Three Meadows – 1.5 miles Daisies dancing on warm breezes will put extra spring in your step as you cross sunny fields before enjoying the cool respite of the forest.
- Lake Loop – 3.0 miles Nearly 3/4 of a mile of boardwalk lets you immerse yourself in a variety of wetlands, yet still keep your feet dry.
- Arboretum Trail – 0.3 miles An aesthetically refreshing place for a walk, and with the habitat it offers, a perfect place to view wildlife.
