Trail Overview

This short trail within the Savannah River Water District offers several opportunities to explore the old river basin. While out on the trail, you will pass the Audubon Sanctuary and see the ruins of an old grist mill forgotten to time as you ride on the ancient seashore of the Atlantic Ocean. On one end of the trail, you will come across an old cemetery belonging to the nearby church.

Watch the map, easy and fun little trail with some mud after heavy rain, stop by the wild sanctuary as you go through! Manageable wider road, nothing technical, fun trail!
