Slim Jim Woods Natural Area
Total distance: 0.22 miles
Difficulty level(s): difficult
Cornell Botanic Gardens Slim Jim Woods Natural Area contains one trail which cuts through this 9-acre woodland on the southwest edge of Cornell Botanic Gardens F. R. Newman Arboretum. You will find a rich diversity of trees in this beautiful old forest, including oak, hickory, maple, pine and hemlock -- many of which are quite old. The eastern half of the trail is steep and ends at the high point of a slope known as Newman Meadow. There you can rest on a bench to enjoy the view or admire an old iconic oak looming overhead. The Slim Jim Woods Trail connects with many other trails within the Arboretum as well as other nearby Cornell Botanic Gardens Natural Areas via the Cayuga Trail.
