Three Waters Reserve is a privately-owned conservation area on the scenic Sugar River. We welcome all visitors to enjoy passive nature observation and walking on our marked public trails. A trail map is available here to view on your phone or to download for printing.
The Reserve is an active Ecological Restoration site designed to provide ecosystem services essential to our community—surface and groundwater cleansing, floodwater retention, climate change mitigation, and biological diversity. Under management is a 70-acre complex of mature oak woodland and savanna, and newly seeded native prairie and wetland plant communities providing habitat for wildlife. When visiting, look for interpretive signage to learn more about these evolving natural communities at the Reserve and the many benefits they provide.
