High Hills of Santee in Sumter County was named for the high, sandy ridges that are part of the Sandhills geographical region. These rolling hills are the remains of an ancient ocean shoreline found in the Carolinas and Georgia. Over time, the beach sand and shells transformed into rock, called coquina, which can be seen today throughout Poinsett State Park.

This easy paddling section makes for a nice day trip. You will not see many signs of human habitation, although, you may see an abundance of animals and birds including herons, eagles, and American egrets.
