The arboretum is home to red pine trees that are over 100 years old, preserved as part of the natural forest ecosystem.
It was established as part of a provincial forest project to protect the rare red pine forests of the Anmyeondo area.
The park contains a specific garden dedicated to ornamental trees that were historically used in traditional Korean palace landscaping.
The integration of the arboretum with the Natural Recreation Forest allows visitors to traverse connected trails that span both managed botanical areas and wild, preserved woodland.
Anmyeondo Arboretum is a specialized botanical facility located within the Anmyeondo Natural Recreation Forest, featuring over 700 species of native and introduced plants. The park is distinguished by its extensive collection of red pine trees (Pinus densiflora), which are indigenous to the region and historically significant to the Korean peninsula. The layout includes a themed rock garden, a wild flower garden, and a pine forest trail that bridges the arboretum with the recreational forest. A skywalk observation deck provides an elevated vantage point to view the dense forest canopy. The site serves as an educational hub for local flora conservation and research. The terrain is largely forested, offering varied ecological zones ranging from mountain slopes to curated garden beds.

Bring insect repellent during the summer months, especially when venturing deeper into the wooded trails.
Combine your visit with the connected Anmyeondo Natural Recreation Forest to maximize your time.
Do not wander off-trail into the dense pine forest, as the ground can be unstable and it is vital to protect the native root systems.
Closed on the first Wednesday of every month for maintenance.
Strict no-smoking policy due to high fire risk in the pine forest; stay on marked paths to protect rare plant species.
