The Arboretum, State Botanical Garden of Kentucky

A two mile paved path forms a loop through the arboretum which is divided into areas to represent the different geologic regions of Kentucky. Additional unpaved paths branch off of the paved path. There's an empty visitor center which is due for renovation. The garden is free but the children's garden has a fee because of the need for supervisory staff when it's open.  

 
The paved path with a short section of boardwalk is in good condition but most wheelchair users will need assistance due to the hilly terrain. We tried an unpaved path through the wetlands and found a boardwalk in need of repair. The ornamental garden has grass paths and is not accessible however a paved path leads to a beautiful sculpture memorializing the people killed in a plane crash at the Lexington, Kentucky. 

RVs will fit in the lot of parked through two spaces or backed up over the grass. Garden  38.01536, -84.50338
