Swanson Preserve

Swanson Preserve covers 83 acres and includes more than 2,000 feet of natural wooded shoreline near the east end of Little Traverse Lake, the fragile wetlands that are critical to the lake’s high water quality and a 162-foot high ridge on the south side of M-22. Most of the preserve is heavily wooded and open to the public. Access is primarily from a short trail system that leads through woods and wetlands to the shores of the 640-acre lake.
