Audubon Swamp Garden

Audubon Swamp Garden

Historic Charleston & Resort Islands

Historic Charleston & Resort Islands
The Audubon Swamp is a black water cypress and tupelo swamp, that's lovely, mysterious, and unique to this area. Once a freshwater reservoir used for rice cultivation, the entire 60 acres is traversed by boardwalks, bridges, and dikes, featuring all varieties of local mammals, birds, and reptiles, including bald eagles, herons and egrets, otters, turtles and alligators. Allow at least 45 minutes for a self-guided walk. A 45-minute nature boat tour takes visitors through ancient rice fields.
