Along the trails within the Cornell Botanic Gardens Mundy Wildflower Garden you will find a remarkable variety of plants native to the Cayuga Lake Basin. The preserve contains forested slopes, floodplain forests, wetland meadows, and displays of native plant landscaping, all bordering a scenic section of Fall Creek. To guide your plant discovery, you will find labels next to over 200 native plant species as well as photographs and lists of the season’s flowering plants at a display near the entrance. Trails here connect with the Cayuga Trail, the Botanic Garden area around the Nevin Welcome Center, the F. R. Newman Arboretum, and additional, adjoining natural areas.

Portions of this trail system are also included in the Cayuga Trail system.
