Trail Overview
Bonneau Ferry Wildlife Management Area covers over 10,000 acres of pine savannahs, bottomland hardwoods, wildlife openings, wetlands, and reservoirs. Recreational opportunities range from hunting and fishing to bird watching, hiking, and viewing the area's rich cultural attributes, such as the ruins of the Comingtee Plantation House and Rice Mill. Bonneau Ferry WMA has four lakes open to non-motorized boating and fishing. Bonneau Ferry may temporarily close for special hunts that can be found online on the SC DNR website. Make sure to double-check that the property is open before visiting. All impoundments are closed from November 1 - February 8th each year for the waterfowl season. This trail is an easy dead-end spur into the bottomland hardwood forest. There are numerous marked trees along this trail offering chances to spot uncommon birds and other wildlife. There are old ruts along the trail that can become covered with leaves so take this trail at a slower pace even though it is a straight shot to the end of the road.
Difficulty
The road is a hard-packed gravel road there are a few remaining ruts after the re-grading that are hidden under pine needles and leaves so take this trail slow. I drove the trail in the rain and there was no flooding or mud to be concerned with at the time of publishing. ATVs are not permitted on the roads on the property at this time.
