About the Natural Lands' Gwynedd Preserve
Located at 547 South Swedesford Road in North Wales, Pennsylvania, Natural Lands' Gwynedd Preserve is a beautiful park and tourist attraction. The main parking lot is currently under construction, so visitors are advised to park on Evergreen Drive and enter the preserve from there if the lot is closed.
Gwynedd Preserve offers a peaceful retreat into nature, surrounded by the suburban developments of Blue Bell and North Wales. The fields, once used for agriculture, are now being carefully restored to their natural state, showcasing a variety of native plants such as warm-season grasses and wildflowers.
The preserve's meadow and forest habitats play a crucial role in the Wissahickon Creek watershed, connecting to other preserved lands along the 26-mile riparian corridor. Originally part of Record Farms in the late 19th century, the land was eventually donated to Natural Lands in 1986 by the Betz family to ensure its preservation as a wildlife sanctuary.
Visitors can explore the trails, observe local wildlife, and enjoy the tranquility of this hidden gem in the heart of Pennsylvania. With ongoing efforts to save open space, care for nature, and promote outdoor recreation, Gwynedd Preserve is a beloved destination for nature lovers and conservation enthusiasts alike.

Reviews of Natural Lands' Gwynedd Preserve
"We really like this walk. You can roam around the Preserve and/or you can cross Swedesford Rd and pick up another trail and end up on the Green Ribbon Trail! The trails on the opposite side of the road that can connect with the Green Ribbon Trail, are closed on Tuesdays, to give it a break. This is a public area. No cost"
"Great area to go on an easy walk/loop. Beautiful benches to take a break or sit and read."
"A lovely and peaceful natural preserve. There are several unpaved trails through woodlands and old farm land that are marked with color arrow signs. Some trails are mostly sunny and others part sun and woodlands. The trail system is compact with about 4 trails from 1.2 - 1.4 mi. You can extend your walk by looping all trails. The yellow trail is across Swedesford Rd and tricky to find. It’s 1.4 mi round trip. Facing Swedesford Rd, to your LEFT walk on elevated grass trail about 250-300 steps. You will see a sign for crossing Swedesford to yellow trail. Careful while crossing and stepping off road to trail. There’s a slight drop from road. Also on return don’t trip getting back across road (because I did!). Stay to your LEFT at beginning of yellow trail. Overall, enjoyable and very peaceful location. Restrooms for Preserve are located near main office area."
"Nice large land preserve with lots of trails. The trails are well marked. Plenty of directional signs in case you get turned around or list. Great views. There are connecting trails where you can access the Wissahickon Watershed and the Green Ribbon Trail."
"Beautiful park with nice trails and wildlife. Just look out for ticks! My 2 dogs had a collective 10 ticks attached after a one hour walk."
