Trail Overview
Explore a blackwater oasis along the Savannah River in Hampton County. The major property is the Webb Wildlife Center with the Palachucola and Hamilton Ridge areas on either side. Many of the trails through the property cross between these three areas; note that the gates can close with no upfront notice due to scheduled/special hunts, flooding, and/or management use. Foot travel and bicycles are permitted beyond gates and barricades unless a hunt is taking place. This route follows along the main road into Hamilton Ridge WMA and loops around the southeastern area of the property. The trail begins at the information kiosk, follows River Road, and spurs off to Dunn Pond, which is a perfect location for observing wildlife. Along this trail are spurs to Jordan Lake, Fowl Craw Lake, and the northeastern area of the property.
