Compton Gardens & Arboretum
Compton Gardens
A natural garden north of downtown honoring environmentalist Neil Compton, with forest trails leading directly to Crystal Bridges.
The garden was once the home and woodland of environmentalist Neil Compton. It is planted with many native Ozark species, and the dogwoods, azaleas and autumn foliage are especially lovely. Garden paths connect the north trail of Crystal Bridges with the Slaughter Pen Trail. Admission is free, making it ideal for an early-morning stroll or a rest stop during a ride. It is about a five-minute walk from the square.
