Take a hike with a ranger on the beautiful High Hills of Santee section of the Palmetto Trail. Learn about the rich history that surrounds this park that dates back to the time of the Revolutionary War and the time of Francis Marion, the "Swamp Fox." See the landscape beauty that is found at Poinsett from mountainous terrain to the swampy bogs of the South Carolina lowlands. Historical buildings and structures, built by the Civilian Conservation Corps, are also found at Poinsett State Park. The hike will consist of a 2.5 mile section of the Palmetto Trail followed by refreshments including tea, coffee and doughnuts in the historical Tea Room at the park office.
The hike will begin at 10:00 from the park office. Please wear comfortable walking shoes and bring a water bottle.

Hoot hoot hoot...whinny...are just some of the sounds that come out of Lee's forested wetlands and pine forests as the sun sets over the western horizon. Few get a chance to see or hear these animals in the wild. Join us for an after dark walk at the park as we seek out Lee's crepuscular and nocturnal wildlife. We'll search for owls and other birds, amphibians, and bats.
Bring a flashlight and wear long pants. This is a 1 mile nature hike.
Registration required. Call the park office for more information or to register (803) 428-5307
