Beautiful trail! Well kept and about halfway through, you hit the waterways where you get the most gorgeous view of Charleston. It's amazing when you just stand in silence and listen to the pine trees creak as they sway back and forth. We'll definitely be hiking this trail again, hopefully in its entirety.
I love running trails & the Palmetto trail (Swamp fox passage) offers plenty of track to follow. You'll run into plenty of water that's standing about ankle high. There's very little gain to speak of in this park but if you're in the area it's worth a go if you like nature. Found bear scat & saw a boar within the first mile from parking spot.
My wife and I visited during the comfortable spring months. Definitely praying your bug spray during more hot and humid summer months.
Hiking is easy as the paths are completely flat. Boots or hiking shoes are a must when the spring and summer rains arrive as flooding is common.
We hiked a number of trails on both the east and west sections of the park. If you want a true swamp feel you definitely need to hike the east end of the park.
I would like to first of all say Happy Birthday Jesus Merry Christmas we rent this place for the Christmas holiday we got a 3 bedroom 1 Bath its 2 story by the water the homes are beautiful the water site is awesome It's worth the money If I had to rent another place I would chose this place again girls and love it
Went dispersed camping in the late summer and the views were amazing! Many natural creeks, lots of wildlife, and lots of land away from private properties. Lots of spiders and mosquitos so make sure to bring a trekking pole and a head net or bug spray.
