Eutaw Springs Passage
Eutaw Springs Passage
Trail Description
This Passage is one of many that highlights the role South Carolina played in the Revolutionary War. Watch for signage near mile marker 17 honoring the Battle of Eutaw Springs. This battle was the last major engagement of the war in the Carolinas–and interestingly, both sides claimed victory. A walk through pastures and shaded dirt roads brings you to the town of Eutawville, where shops can meet your resupply needs. A spur trail off Fredcon Road beginning near mile marker 14 meanders through Santee-Cooper Wildlife Management Refuge from low swampy areas to the southern edges of Lake Marion. If you take the full spur trail, it will add about five miles to the passage.
Additional Information
Santee-Cooper Wildlife Management Area is open March through September, and may be muddy or flooded at times. Watch for signs.
