The Jacksonville Arboretum is a beautiful 120-acre urban woodland with three miles of easy trails.

You can walk all three miles with us or bail out safely at several points if you want to walk less
Kids are welcome
Trails are beautiful and easy
Trails aren't wheelchair or stroller friendly, but the short loop around the lake is.

Cancellation Policy: Event will be held rain or shine, but may be canceled if weather threatens safety such as in the case of lightning or high winds in the forecast. Also, if the heat index is forecast to be over 103, then the outing will be canceled. Participants are advised to check Meetup for current status before traveling to the event. Events may need to be canceled at short notice.

Help the environment by following these tips:
● Bring your water in a reusable container instead of a single-use plastic bottle
● Use sunscreen free of oxybenzone and octinoxate. These chemicals are extremely harmful to coral reefs, as well as being hormone disruptors in humans.
