Thielke Arboretum — Attraction in Glen Rock

Walkability – I really enjoyed walking here. It’s a peaceful and easy stroll, perfect when you just want to slow down and reconnect with nature. The paths are surrounded by flowers, trees, and gentle streams—such a calming vibe. Photography – As someone who loves taking nature photos, this place felt like a hidden gem. There are so many little details to capture—reflections in the water, textures, light filtering through the leaves. It’s small, but full of beauty. Maintenance – The arboretum is very well maintained. It felt clean, safe, and clearly cared for, which made the experience even more enjoyable. Parking – There’s convenient parking right near the entrance. I didn’t have any trouble finding a spot, which is always a plus. Admission – It’s free to visit, which I really appreciate. It makes it so easy to stop by spontaneously when I need a reset or want to take photos. Hours – Open daily, so you can visit whenever it works for you. I love having a place like this available throughout the week.

The parking lot was full because it is shared by members of the town pool, but there is also...
