  Great walking trails. Bring bug spray! Lots of mosquitoes. Lots of Maple Valley Rocks painted and hidden throughout the arboretum. Beautiful paths to walk, a pond, lots of flowers and millions if plants, child's play areas, a little library, totem poles, nature, bunnies play and birds forage and sing. Disc golf course too. Beautiful area.

  The Lake Wilderness Arboretum in Maple Valley WA is a hidden gem. It features irises, rhododendron, roses, and so many more plants. The arboretum is often overlooked because Lake Wilderness also features a lake and playground. If you are looking for a local arboretum with a small town feel, this is hard to beat.
