Just across the road from Little River Reservoir, Snow Hill Preserve offers quiet country living in a peaceful, natural setting. In the vicinity, Historic Southern homes and working farms dot the countryside. The nearby Little River provides a natural habitat for several species of wildlife while the reservoir serves as a gathering place for visitors to get out and enjoy nature. On both sides of the river there are rich forests, meadows and wide-open spaces that give this area a distinct rural feel, though in reality it is only minutes from Duke and downtown Durham.
