Innisfree


Innisfree is a 150-acre public garden in which the ancient art of Chinese landscape design has been reinterpreted to create, without recourse to imitation, a unique American garden. At Innisfree the visitor strolls from one three-dimensional picture to another. Streams, waterfalls, terraces, retaining walls, rocks, and plants are used not only to define areas but also to establish tension or motion. The 40-acre lake is glacial, most of the plant material is native, and the rocks have come from the immediate forest.
  • Season: Innisfree Garden is open from May 7 to October 20.
  • Hours: Wednesdays, Thursdays and Fridays, 10 AM to 4 PM. Saturdays, Sundays, and legal holidays, 11 AM to 5 PM. Closed Mondays and Tuesdays except legal holidays.
  • Admission: Wednesdays, Thursdays and Fridays, $4 per person 4 years of age and older. Saturdays, Sundays, and legal holidays, $5 per person 4 years of age and older.
  • Telephone: 845-677-8000
