Jimi PatricolaGreat place to peacefully stroll and take in Nature at calming pace. Swan Lake is quite large and by being so it offers a habitat for a wide range of birds, both aquatic and non-aquatic. On our trek we spotted Anhingas, Black Swans, Trumpeter swans and more. Also Phoebes, Warblers and even a catbird. The plant gardens were not in their best shape due to seasonal changes but still offered many species to excite even the casual observer. Well worth the trip, be there

Tameika DeniseA stroll around Swan Lake is nostalgic for me. The grounds are well kept and I enjoyed taking my daughter recently. Also, I love some of the changes since I was her age, including the butterfly garden and educational outposts that read a story about each species of trees.

KateI first visited this place almost a year ago. This has trails and a walkway around a pond. There are many different types of ducks, there are swans, and one time I even saw a crane. There are at Swan Lake Iris Gardens Wood Ducks, Mallards, and various, swans, along with visiting species like Ring-necked Ducks, Redheads, and Ruddy Ducks, and on occasion if you're lucky you may even see a crane like I did. This place is absolutely beautiful and a wonderful attraction if you're visiting Sumter South Carolina. I would suggest making a trip to stop by if you're passing through or if you're visiting to see the beauty of how this is laid out. It's a wonderful place for a date to walk around as well.
