Wow! How beautiful this reserve is! I loved the wide trails and how very well marked they were… until I finished a loop and had no idea how to get back to the parking lot! The experience was amazing though and I absolutely will make at least once a week trip there.
One of the best walking venues in the region. Sweet Arrow Reserve is just beautiful. It doesn’t start off very impressive, but once one travels into the trail system, it’s gorgeous.
It very much reminds me of Charleston Falls with wide, well manicured trails and a good mix of elevation.
It’s dog friendly… especially if your dog likes water sports.
This was a nice reserve nestled in amongst some residential homes and a highway. It has a nice forested area with a stream running down the edge of it. There were also 3 fields that had some wildflowers growing in them. The trail going through them wasn’t very tough but still made for a nice hike.
Walked the green, red, and black trails in under 2 hours. Not crowded at all. A very pleasant walk. Some open fields and some wooded area, depending on which trails you take. Most are about or under a mile. The path for the green trail goes beyond the parking lot, past the entrance sign to the left, FYI. It took me a minute to find it.
This is a large and well maintained reserve. The trails are easy with some moderate areas. Little Sugar Creek passes through, and there are multiple creek crossings. The crossings are mostly large rocks that you walk across. Much of the reserve is meadows and woods. The parking area is not very big but adequate. There is one portable restroom and a couple of picnic tables at the parking area.
