  1. Two different footpath trails - leading out from the native plant garden. The rock steps trail leads to the short boardwalk that connects to a dock, over the lake, that has seating. The gravel path leads you to the lake loop trail, across the wetlands/marshes (prime frogs/turtles spotting area), over a long boardwalk that connects one side of the lake to the other. *In really rainy times - the trails on other side of lake get flooded out.

  2. A couple of rest benches for you to sit for a spell & quietly absorb some wonderful nature energy 💚 All the benches are donated legacy gifts from locals who loved Swan Lake 💗

  3. Beside the nature house, there's a short trail that leads to the gazebo/outdoor classroom area. It's a nice spot to have a picnic in the shade, when there's not educational programs happening because it has seating & a table.
    The #WheelchairPath / #AccessibleTrail is on the left. The native plant garden trail is on the right (not an accessible trail for wheelchair users). You can see plenty of native plants & trees along the accessible trail though.

  4. #SwanLakeNatureSanctuary - the #NatureHouse. This is where I worked out of in my late 20s, as a nature interpreter/educator for public school field trips for a few months. I taught out of the nature house, an outdoor gazebo & on the central dock at the nature sanctuary.
    There's been several upgrades to the nature house & to the nature sanctuary, since the early 2000s.

    I met Robert Bowen, at the nature sanctuary, today. He's owner of - Diversified Scientific Solutions. Mr. Bowen is an environmental sciences engineer & he was doing some water testing at the lake this morning. I had a nice chat with him & he gave me his business card.
