From the entrance sign to the left of the trailhead, you begin this easy, 1.4-mile walk on a broad, level, mowed path through a mixed forest of tall loblolly pine with an under story of sweet gum trees. Brown stakes with arrows clearly mark the trail and fourteen educational signs along the trail describe Hurricane Hugo damage, and explain why and how the forest is being managed. You will walk past fields planted with corn, sunflowers, peas, sorghum, millet, and wheat that supply food for wildlife. There are several quiet, wildlife viewing platforms including one observation deck that overlooks a limestone sink pond where you may see water birds, snakes and variety of other creatures. Watch for ant mounds, and wear insect repellant. Motorized vehicles are prohibited.

Hours: Open March 2 - August 31, dawn to dusk

From I-95 at Santee: Drive east on SC6 to Eutaw Springs. At the Wildlife Viewing sign, turn left onto Fredcon Road (Orangeburg County S-38-137). The parking area is 1.2 miles on the left.
