Finding Peace in The Arb

123 Acres of Inner Peace

Hidden right in the University of Michigan's hill area is the Nichols Arboretum—known to absolutely everyone locally simply as "the arb".

Offering 123 acres of lush, trail-filled landscapes right along the river, it is the perfect destination for riverside walks. Because the foliage and blooms change so dramatically, it remains the ultimate free, year-round destination to clear your head.
