Wooded riverside arboretum with meandering trails, native trees, a creek and river views — ideal for seasonal color, close-up plant and fungus shots, and tranquil landscape compositions. Open dawn–dusk, free entry; parking available near Monongahela Blvd and WVU campus. Best at spring wildflower peak and fall foliage; weekdays and golden hour reduce crowds and improve light. Trails are mostly easy but can be muddy; bring insect protection in warm months.
