This 40-acre Lake Wilderness Arboretum is located in Maple Valley, Washington
adjacent to Lake
Wilderness Park.
In addition to its focus on Northwest
native plants, the Arboretum features
one of the world's largest collections
of Western Azalea (Rhododendron
occidentale). The Arboretum's urban forest and cultivated gardens provide
the backdrop for recreational and educational
opportunities that are readily available and free to the public.
Maintenance and ongoing development of the Arboretum is performed by the Lake Wilderness Arboretum Foundation through a joint use agreement with the City of Maple Valley.
