Klehm Arboretum & Botanic Garden

2715 S. Main St., Rockford, IL 61102

Hiking & Trails

Klehm Arboretum & Botanic Garden is a 155-acre living museum filled with spectacular gardens and rare trees.

There’s beauty in every season from fragrant magnolia trees in spring and a butterfly garden in summer to the brilliant colors of fall and snow-capped evergreens in winter, when trails are cleared for walkers, cross-country skiers and snowshoeing. A 1.8 mile, handicapped-accessible paved path winds through the arboretum plus many secondary, chipped trails. Kids will have fun navigating the maze in the Children’s Garden. Klehm is dog-friendly and any leashed dog is welcome. Filled with four season beauty, Klehm Arboretum & Botanic Garden is waiting for you to explore.
