Sweetwater Wetlands is not particularly wild as far as the hiking conditions. Well-maintained gravel trails and boardwalks keep your feet out of the actual swamp. Which is probably a good thing since it's full of dinosaurs. Quite a few -- 10 to 20 -- were mere feet from the trail, sunning themselves on the banks. Nothing to keep them from going after people if they were so inclined, but they just generally aren't. The biggest we saw, I estimated 8+ feet long, was across one of the water areas.
From one of the boardwalks, we saw a mother alligator with her young, down in the swamp. Kind of hard to see the young'uns in this photo. Look to the front right of the mother's nose.
