A beautiful little walk that thrills you once wending through the forest-like path opening to fields where you are surprised at every turn discovering something new and stunning. Def. consider some bug spray as those carnivorous plants don't get them all and the Brunswick bird mosquito is bigger than any I've seen. Easy walk. Entrance isn't really marked off the road so pay attention to gps.
Amazing hike with great nature views of the tall pine trees and the Venus Fly Traps in all their wonder and loveliness were in bloom or starting to bloom. I highly suggest if you find yourself in or around Holden Beach North Carolina to go to Green Swamp Preserve and take a hike to see for yourself.Visited onWeekdayWait timeNo waitReservation recommendedNoFree entryYes
There are no signs indicating where the entrance is located so make sure to use GPS to get there. Nice walking trail. Saw many venus flytraps but no pitcher plants. Make sure to bring insect repellent.Visited onWeekdayWait timeNo waitPrice for adult entryFree
Outstanding selection of wild flowers, pitcher plants and Venus fly traps. Only downside were mucky trails due to rain the day prior our visit.Visited onWeekendWait timeNo wait
Phenomenal. Many pictures. PLEASE stay on the paths so that these precious and incredible plants are preserved. I am not sure if people realize what a wonderful and to be protected place this is Playground: No playground.

Came in late October, absolutely beautiful weather could not have been more perfect. Keep an eye out for the red diamonds on the trees that lead the way, the carnivorous plants are very small and low to the ground there are many of them but a little difficult to see at first.
Very beautiful and unique preserve. The Venus fly traps and pitcher plants are there in abundance. It's very cool to see them in the wild. It's a very different environment with the tall pines and grasses and ferns carpeting the forest floor. If it has rained recently, be prepared to either get your feet wet or wear rubber boots.
This is a botanists’ and ornithologists’ delight! The most magnificent long needled pine trees reach to the sky; diverse populations of carnivorous plants and native orchids dapple the grounds. And the birds produce a cacophony of song. They are closed now for a rebuild of their boardwalk. I can’t wait.
Nice easy walk. Highlight is the csrnivouse plants
