Swanson Preserve

This preserve is 83 acres with 2,000 feet of shoreline on Little Traverse Lake and two distinct wetland communities critical to wildlife and the health of the lake. There is a 3/4 mile trail with a boardwalk that winds through cedar forest, over two cold groundwater streams where brook trout spawn, and down to Little Traverse Lake. A loop trail runs along a portion of the lake front.
