Interactive Preserve Map

All dogs must be on a leash!

And please clean up after your pooches while using the trails.

Please note that not all of Little Traverse Conservancy’s hundreds of nature preserves and reserves include trails and parking. Scroll below this map for the list of Featured Preserves & Reserves best suited for visiting.

For a complete list of winter accessible preserves and reserves (plowed parking areas) as well as preserves and reserves that are groomed for cross country skiing and other activities, click here.

Many of LTC’s preserves and reserves are open for hunting. And if it is currently hunting season and you want to hike away from hunters, we recommend these preserves that are closed to hunting.
