Description: 

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.
