​​Alachua County’s nature preserves sustained impacts from Hurricane Debby, including flooding and trees uprooting on some trails. The staff has assessed trail conditions and re-opened some preserves to public access. For your safety, please respect preserve and trail closures and stay off closed trail areas.

The following county nature preserves have been re-opened:

  • Barr Hammock Preserve – Levy Loop Trail only
  • Turkey Creek Preserve
  • Buck Bay Preserve
  • Sweetwater Preserve


All other county preserves with public access remain closed while staff address storm damage and safety concerns.
