Meredith Walking Trails

---

In 2016, the GREATER MEREDITH PROGRAM participated in a charette with the Meredith Parks & Recreation Dept. to bring Swasey Park back to life and make it more useable for people to enjoy. Located on High Street in Meredith Village, just a short walk from Main Street, this hidden gem encompasses 7 acres and includes 6 trails totaling 1 mile. The park also offers a waterfront canoe and kayak landing on the historic Waukewan Canal. It’s a great place to explore nature and enjoy a picnic.
