STATE OF NORTH DAKOTA - CAPITOL COMPLEX

ARBORETUM TRAIL

This beautiful nature trail, constructed in 1985 in the middle of the capitol City, gives a unique view of the mixing of nature, art, and architecture on the Capitol grounds. It's a great place for a leisurely stroll or an educational walk.Along the west side of the mall, behind the governor's residence, the trail meanders through trees and shrubs. Posts identify approximately 75 different species planted on the grounds. In the summer, a myriad of flowers accents the green of the grass and trees.The trail passes statues and memorials which symbolize our state's history and heritage. Along the north side of the mall the trail winds past the impressive Capitol building. On the east side are the other state buildings--Department of Transportation Building, the Liberty Memorial Building, and the citizens' birthday present to themselves, the Heritage Center.
