The walkway is the longest in the nation and overlooks 54 acres of forest, ponds, and an apple orchard. Other attractions include an award-winning Children's Garden, Spring display of 20,000+ flowering bulbs, Playground, and Café. Dow Gardens is a signature gift of The Herbert H. and Grace A. Dow Foundation.
