This is a series of flat connecting trails. The longest section is an old rail bed, which takes you through a widely varying habitat; from mature longleaf pines to bottomland hardwood drains. It offers captivating scenery to visitors who may glimpse prothonotary warblers darting among swamp cypress knees or endangered red-cockaded woodpeckers in search of food in the bark of majestic longleaf pines. Be aware that some areas may flood after heavy rains and big game hunting is allowed in this area during the season.

Insect repellent is recommended during warm months. This trail is shared by hikers, bikers, and horses.

Hours: Open year-round dawn to dusk.

Camping: Dispersed camp anywhere on forest well away from trail. Camping permit required, available free at the district office. No camping at trailhead.

From Charleston: Drive northeast on US 17 and turn left onto SC 41. Drive 7 miles (Just past Wando) and the parking area and trailhead are on the left.
