Dominion Arboretum
The Dominion Arboretum spreads across rolling ground at the Central Experimental Farm near Dow's Lake. Paths weave among mature tree collections and seasonal foliage.
This is a place to slow down and compare the forms and textures of trees rather than tick off monuments. Changing leaf colour, snow, and lake views alter the experience through the year. The broad grounds make more sense as a deliberate landscape outing paired with the farm or canal.
What to look for
Mature tree collections on rolling paths
Views toward Dow's Lake
Useful to know
Allow time for the spread-out paths and combine the walk with the farm or canal rather than Parliament Hill.
