    Tips

    November 28, 2023

    Sweetwater Preserve provides a network of well-maintained, clearly marked trails that wind through beautiful American beech and oak forestry.

    There is lots of shade on the paths, and you'll pass ponds, streams, and have plenty of opportunities to spot wildlife including birds, butterflies and alligators.
