Francis Marion NF in SC

by ColoradoScott » Thu May 19, 2011 8:50 pm

Not exactly mountaineering, but I'm going to be in Charleston, SC for a wedding soon, and hope to escape for a day into this nearby National Forest for a day of hiking & photography. Does anyone have any recommendations? Thanks

Well, not all of it is a swamp, but I wouldn't exactly call it a hiking mecca. How about going to Cape Romain NWR instead? Bulls Island in the refuge (which IS a swamp, but in a good way) is flat awesome for hiking and biking.
