Santee Coastal Reserve

This 24,000-acre reserve is a Wildlife Management Area that includes two barrier islands accessible only by boat. There are four trails: bike/hiking trail - a 7.2 mile trail through old rice field impoundments; the marshland trail - a 2.9 mile trail with an 800-ft. boardwalk into a freshwater cypress swamp; and a woodland trail - a 1.1 mile trail through pine forests. The canoe trail is 4.25 miles and visitors should call ahead for closures due to water levels.
