From the Ottawa World / Places

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.

Why go

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.
