Swan Lake Iris Gardens

A 150-acre expanse of Japanese Iris, Magnolias, Azaleas and a variety of seasonal flowers surround the calm black waters of Swan Lake, where all eight known species of the world's swans swim. A "Braille Trail," encloses a tour-and-scent garden for the visually impaired. During the blooming of the Japanese Iris from mid-May through mid-June, Swan Lake celebrates the annual Sumter Iris Festival on Memorial Day weekend. A visitor center is open M-F 8:30am-5pm.
