Arlington Trail Details
Arlington Trail, at .1-miles one-way, is one of the park's shortest hiking routes. It begins from the 7th-floor pool area of the Arlington Hotel and ascends through mixed hardwood, becoming gradually wider. Take care: just past the first concrete bench on the left, an uneven mortared stone has tripped up many a hiker. When you reach the lower Dogwood Trail loop, there are several options for hikers who would like to keep going, including the Fountain Trail and Floral Trail.
