Awendaw Passage
Awendaw Passage
Trail Description
The Trail’s namesake trees greet users at the Buck Hall Recreation Area trailhead. This US Forest Service facility is named for the former Buck Hall plantation located here. Its location on the Intracoastal Waterway provides excellent access to Cape Romain National Wildlife Refuge, with its 65,000 acres of marsh, waterways and beaches–a fitting location for the southern terminus of the mountains-to-the-sea Palmetto Trail. Starting at the Intracoastal Waterway, the Trail meanders westward through maritime forest and offers sweeping vistas of Lowcountry salt marsh along Awendaw Creek. At Walnut Grove, look for a scenic overlook and boardwalk. Canoes and kayaks can be launched at the Buck Hall Recreation Area trailhead and at the end of Rosa Green Road. Both provide access to the Awendaw Creek Canoe Trail.
