This is our new favorite hiking trails. Absolutely STUNNING trails. Easy accessible areas to water and rock beds. The creek was dried up mostly due to the time of year but we cant wait to make this our new fav trail. And we Have frequented alot of trails.

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.

Good walking trial. Multiple color coded trails available. Trails get wet and slippery when it rains or snows. Hollow tree is the main attraction, and found some trees with weird looking fruits along the green trail.

The creek was dry, when I went a few months back. But it was still beautiful. I did not get completely thru it. But it is a must see. I will be returning to finish.

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.
