William Lanier Hunt Arboretum, Botanical garden in Chapel Hill, North Carolina, US.

The William Lanier Hunt Arboretum extends across 100 acres of land, featuring numerous rhododendron bluffs within a gorge along Morgan Creek.

Between 1960 and 1990, William Lanier Hunt gradually donated the land that would become the arboretum to the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.

The arboretum maintains an extensive collection of woody plants native to the southeastern United States, supporting regional botanical research and education.

The facility operates as a private research area under the North Carolina Botanical Garden system and requires special permission for access.

The eight-acre Grey Bluff Garden adjacent to the arboretum protects steep slopes along Morgan Creek while maintaining additional rhododendron populations.
