The Stream and Wetland Assessment Management Park is open for public visits and is accessible most daylight hours via the Al Buehler Cross Country Trail, a gravel running and walking course maintained and operated by the Office of Duke Forest at Duke University.
SWAMP
can be approached on the Al Buehler Trail (orange
on the map) approximately one-tenth of a mile
southeast of the Washington Duke Inn. Note
that the parking lot indicated on the map is no
longer open to the public. Numbered signs
will direct you to the SWAMP sites along the
path. The sites are also accessible via the
exercise loop (purple
on the map) located along NC751 between Wrightwood
Avenue and Pinecrest Road. 
There are boardwalks, overlooks, and educational signs along the trail and adjacent exercise loop. SWAMP is listed as a birding hotspot on the citizen science website eBird.org.
Visitors to SWAMP and the Al Buehler Cross Country Trail must remain on the path at all times.
In
advance of your visit, you can print a SWAMP map brochure (suitable for
two-sided printing as a bi-fold) and a checklist of bird species seen
at SWAMP (suitable for two-sided printing as a
tri-fold). For additional information, contact the
Duke University Wetland Center office at (919)
613-8009.
