An early morning stroll within this beautiful preserve is a great way to start the morning. There are two short paths the West and East Trails totaling 3 miles. " This series of loop trails meander along Sweetwater Branch and through upland mixed and floodplain forests. We may see "8 different natural communities including; sandhill, xeric hammock, sinkhole lake, baygall, seepage stream, upland mixed forest, mesic flatwoods and floodplain forest." "The 125 acre Sweetwater Preserve was bought in 2006 by Alachua County with funding from the Alachua County Forever Bond and a Florida Communities Trust Grant. The preserve was purchased to protect, preserve and enhance the unique natural and cultural resources found on the property and to provide an enjoyable and educational passive recreational experience."
