| A curious Whitetail Buck watches bikers, as he blends into the woods, just a few yards from our bike path. |
| Our bike path takes campers to & from camp, by winding through the woods from C-Area to Sweetwater's Entrance Gates & Rte 124, where there's quick access to the 25 miles of biking along the paved Cape Cod Rail Trail! |

| In August of 2008, Sweetwater Forest's New Memory Garden & Super Play Center was dedicated to the family members, Ann & Dave Klein who founded Sweetwater Forest. They are no longer with us physically, but it was their innovative thinking which conceived and created Sweetwater Forest as one of Cape Cod's finest family campgrounds, and it the essence of their dreams, which has been passed down to us, and our now grown children will always be present at Sweetwater Forest. As a further tribute to our campers, a foot bridge has been included in the Garden, from which the rock and stone river bed that flows beneath it can be viewed. The river bed will be made with stones that have been painted with the names, dates, towns, or messages from 50 years of campers! Contact us if you'd like to be included! |

| Our Kidz Catch & Release Fishing Derbies are exciting & fun for all. In 2006 the biggest fish ever caught during one of our Catch & Release Derbies was caught by a wily young fisherman. To date, our smallest fisherman caught the largest fish...and, as of today the record still stands! Some of the most enjoyable activities & contests take place at the lake-from a variety of different canoe races, Catch & Release Fishing Derbies, Turtle Watches & Counts, and more! Not all the enjoyment at the lake is a scheduled activity. Canoe Rentals offer a unique view of Sweetwater, and the wide variety of fish, turtles, animals and birds who make their homes, for at least part of the year, on Sweetwater's lake, Griffith's Pond. |
| Recreation at Sweetwater Forest-just for the fun of it! |
| Brewster does not permit boat motors over 3HP on lakes & ponds located in the Town. Long Pond's Boat Ramp is just minutes away & since this lake is in both the Towns of Brewster & Harwich there is no restriction on horsepower, making it a water skier & power boater's paradise! There's still plenty to be said for the relaxation of quietly paddling a canoe along our lake. (Only Snow's Pond is pictured here.) |

| Why do we offer recreation at Sweetwater Forest when there is so much to do in Brewster, and on Cape Cod? In a nutshell, because we've camped with our family for years, and shared Sweetwater Forest with Campers for decades. During those years we learned that what may be exhausting to us, may not be to the kids, or even ourselves once we've gotten our second wind. While lounging at camper in the shade after a day at the beach with the kids, ending with some window shopping at great stores, may sound great, it never seems to be what the kids want to do. To help everyone enjoy camping at Sweetwater Forest we do our best to provide plenty to do, for those of all ages. To the left is a list of the Recreational Facilities and Activities that are frequently offered at Sweetwater. Sure, there is plenty to see, visit, and enjoy as you experience Cape Cod & the Islands, and our classic Cape Cod bayside home-town of Brewster. There, along country roads, and especially Route 6-A are a variety of unique studios, charming plazas featuring distinctive shops, boutiques and galleries, where the outstanding work of the Cape's local artisans is often displayed, showcasing the many different mediums used by artists as they worked to capture the essence of Cape Cod for sharing with you. Scattered along Rte 6-A in Brewster are the studios of Award winning artists and artisans, while others showcase the Fine local art in seemingly never ending mediums A piece is waiting to be found that's sure to be the stunning "must have" piece of your dreams of the Cape. One need not spend thousands to satisfy a need for a piece of Cape Cod to add to their home, or to give as a gift. Price points are as varied as the shops and the items offered for sale in them. Even those who do noy usually enjoy shopping fall for Brewster's numerous shops, boutiques and distinctive Cape Cod shopping venues where finding a must have item is second only to the joy of browsing through shop after shop, filled with an abundance of Cape Cod eye candy-and more. Shopping in Brewster can be done going to, or coming from, Brewster's Bay Beaches. Experiencing Brewster is far from limited to shopping along Rte 6-A. Brewster is a dream destination for those who enjoy the outdoors.

Those who use the Rail Trail see sights not seen by many, such as Cape Cod's stunning Salt Marshes and Hummock, and the wondrous ecosystems each is all wafor the watching where there is much to see!

Seven beautiful distinctive beaches grace the sandy shores of Cape Cod Bay. The Bay beaches, while all possessing characteristics of their own, they all do share the remarkable changes that occur as the tides come in and then go low, at some leaving 2 miles of sand flats to play on- every 6 hours. Many enjoy experiencing the changing the surf to a beach comber's paradise of miles of sand.
