GARDNER CENTER TRAILS

The Gardner Center Trails in Princeton wind through about 23 woodland acres, offering nearly 7,000 feet of trails for visitors to explore. Originally developed for research by foresters and scientists, the site is rich with history and natural beauty. During construction, workers created a series of rock-lined paths that still wind through the woods today. The trails range from easy to moderate difficulty, and along the way, you'll find a variety of trees, including American Chestnut, Black Cherry, Black Oak, Eastern Hemlock, Red Maple, and many more. Whether you're hiking the gentle paths or taking in the views, the Gardner Center offers a peaceful escape with plenty to discover.
