Boardwalks through 800 acres of blackwater bottomland swamp, inside the town limits.

Walterboro Wildlife Sanctuary

Nature & Wildlife · Edisto Free 4.6

The sanctuary protects several hundred acres of blackwater bottomland inside Walterboro itself, crossed by boardwalk and sand trail. Cypress and tupelo stand in tea-coloured water and the light through them is the reason photographers come. Braided creeks here were part of the old Charleston to Savannah trading path.
