The trail is marked with mile markers and there is a map at the beginning of the trail. Easy to follow and navigate your way. There is a fitness area which I thought was neat. There are no accessible restrooms available that I saw. There are no animal waste areas that are available that I saw. I will definitely try this trail again.

Amanda is easy to work with if your schedule changes weekend to weekend. My 7 year old has learned to ride western but has been exposed to English also. Amanda is great at making kids feel comfortable with her and trust in her. She doesn't rush things if they aren't ready for it. My daughter rides a mare named Lucy and she's her favorite. Her prices per hour are reasonable.

Absolutely loved our two hour kayak trip with our tour guide, Ethan…read more He was friendly and knowledgeable about the waters, wildlife (birds) and kayaking itself. It was the perfect day to be out on the water. There was a current heading out so it made it a nice arm workout. On the way back, it was almost like a lazy river as it brought us back. What a wonderful way to spend an afternoon and the area was beautiful and filled with so many amazing birds.

Real, wild, "Flipper's distant cousins" kind of dolphins, just cruising by like we were part of the pod. The guides were awesome--laid-back but knew their stuff, and they didn't rush us. Gave us room to soak it all in (and yell "HOLY HELL, DOLPHINS!" a few times). The water was calm, the views were killer, and the whole trip felt like something out of a Nat Geo special--minus the narrator and plus a few bad paddle jokes. If you're even thinking about it, do it. This isn't just kayaking--it's a front-row seat to the wild. And yeah, it was badass.

There is so much to do at WNR, frisbee golf, SUP, kayak, hike and just relax. The Zun cabins are built perfectly to protect from rain (which we had sat. night). The spacious king sized Zun provided a comfortable place to crash after wearing ourselves out. Our experience was unique and a breath of fresh air for a lifelong resident of the now crowded lowcountry. Take a weekend (or longer) to explore this lowcountry gem, you won't be dissatisfied. Lastly, shout out to staff members Allison and Devin. The customer service was top notch. Both employees went out of their way to enhance our experience and make us comfortable!

His wife also joined us and was a wonderful addition to the crew -- together they made the whole experience feel like a day out with great friends rather than a tour.

Realistically, a five star rating is more a reflection of the fact that I want the space to remain…read moreas it is rather than an endorsement of the amenities provided. The worst parts of South Carolina are the overdeveloped ones. This area, being quite undeveloped, has many interesting sights, but also dirt roads, limited parking, and while I visited in the winter I expect the conditions can get quite hostile with the peak season bugs. I took the I'on swamp trail. I could not figure out what the name meant through a cursory online search, nor did any of the signage there clarify it for me. The trail takes one through a wooded area that used to be rice paddies; the organization of the ponds is still evident, but it's fascinating watching natural forces take over the area. There are a number of other interesting stops for outdoorsy types, most notably part of the majestic Palmetto Trail, but the most important thing is that it's not a golf course. Then again, it would be hard to build anything under the conditions in these swamps, and exploring the areas certainly makes one think about their history.

Palmetto Trail is a really nice trail, admittedly! You can tell that park management makes sure…read morethat the foot path is kept up really nice and that its wilderness is proactively cared for by volunteers and park service personnel, and not left for dead like I've seen in some remote state forests. I was really happy to be camping in a forest where there were no bears (YAY!) so that I could relax a bit and focus on the hike without one hand constantly on a can of bear spray. My initial plan was to hike the whole of the trail after having applied for a permit to hike and camp there, and having the permit signed and approved by the park service before I ever even boarded my flight to SC. So the only people who knew that I was there hiking on those dates were the park administrators who approved the permit. :) Yet about 4 days into my hike, at mile marker 10, around 1 o'clock in the afternoon, two hillbillies walked onto the trail carrying guns. It was 1 o'clock in the afternoon. Hunters don't generally start their day to hunt game at 1 o'clock on a sunny afternoon, and since I wasn't born last Tuesday I knew something in the water wasn't clean. Those damn city people, always glass half empty! So I went off trail into a dense thicket to just sit and relax, perhaps even camp overnight until I felt safe enough to move forward on the path of the trail that I was on (since I was alone). Because hunters with guns and recreational hiking trails go together like pet pooches and chocolate treats. Well, that relaxation didn't last long. Long story short, after somehow hunting and finding me in the thicket where I had gone off of the trail, then tapping on trees and instruments and whatever else they could find to make menacing noises (to terrorize me), those same two hillbillies then began to shoot rounds at me, chasing me back onto the foot path, where I then had the opportunity to take a photo of their Silverado "Hail the Confederacy" truck parked on the forest service road at the mile marker. So Tweedle Dee and Tweedle Dumb chased me RIGHT to where they were parked out in the open so that I could get documentation of who it was that was CHASING ME THROUGH THE WOODS AND SHOOTING AT ME IN BROAD DAYLIGHT! (those pesky city folks always thinking all quick! aw shucks! thought all northerners was on cocaine!) They seemed to have really thought all of it through, for sure. Oh but THERE'S MORE! They then came bursting out of the treeline with both of their guns drawn, looking like "Yippie Kay-Yay MF!" as they ran all their jiggly x 2 to that confederate truck, peeling off like the final episode of the Dukes of Hazzard. I immediately dialed 911 as soon as they were finished doing doughnuts on the dirt road (ok the doughnuts in the dirt part is an exaggeration for the theater of it, but they should have just gone ahead and finished off with this move) and I immediately filed a report with the local Sheriff, though I ultimately ended up having to file a Hate Crime complaint with the DOJ since this incident occurred in a federal park. Additionally, I made an amateur short film about the experience HERE. youtu.be/8DqzB-1NNYU Please enjoy at my expense :)
