Thorne Swift Nature Preserve

Lower Shore Drive
231-526-6401

Thorne Swift Nature Preserve was initiated in 1981 by a West Traverse Township resident, who offered to donate 30 acres to the Little Traverse Conservancy. The Conservancy agreed to lease the property to West Traverse Township for management so that township residents and others could enjoy the beautiful Lake Michigan shoreline, cedar swamp, and other natural features of the property.
