Explore A Little-Known Arboretum In This Small Oregon Country Town

Oregon is rife with gorgeous parks and forests so there is no shortage of arboretums to visit. But if you're hankering for a nature experience that's quieter or a bit more off-the-beaten path than the more popular arboretums in Oregon, head to Delbert Hunter Arboretum and Botanical Garden in Dallas, Oregon.

This little-known park offers tranquility, immense beauty, and the small-town charm of Dallas. You'll find gorgeous scenery, native plants, a lovely creek, and majestic stands of trees.

This gorgeous, serene park lets you really immerse yourself in the beauty of nature.

The idea behind Delbert Hunter Arboretum and Botanical Garden is to be a living museum of trees and native plants.

Benches are spread throughout the park, so take a seat to rest or reflect on the beauty around you.

The bold yellow aspen trees are particularly stunning in fall!

Rickreall Creek runs through the property, adding to the tranquil setting.

Follow along the trails and over bridges. Stay on the paths to avoid harming the wetland ecosystem.

This stunning park is right next to the Dallas City Park, offering even more ways to play.

The Dallas City Park has two playgrounds, horseshoe pits, basketball courts, BBQ pits, a swimming hole, and more.

This lovely arboretum is wonderful to explore in all seasons!
