Sewee Shell Mound Interpretive Trail
The mystique surrounding the area emcompassed by this one-mile, self-guided interpretive trail dates back 4,000 years. The trail begins along a shady lane of trees which opens into an area heavily influenced by the forces of nature and man. A large protion of the area was scarred by Hurricane Hugo and wildfire. It is a picture of a land in recovery.
The 120-foot boardwalk overlooks a prehistoric shell ring and offers five interpretive stops in addition to breathtaking views of the salt marsh, tidal creek and Atlantic Intracoastal Waterway.
Directions: From Charleston, take US Highway 17 North to Doar Road North (SC Route 432-S). Turn right and go 2.1 miles to Salt Pond Road. turn right onto FS Road 243 and go 0.1 miles to trailhead.
