  • Most of my days are spent in the Refuge. There are so many different areas and beautiful things to see and do. I see and read people complaining about bugs- I rarely ever have a problem with bugs ironically. In my opinion the best way to see and explore the vastness is by kayak. It is imperative to be quiet and frequent the area regularly to see new and different things. The flooding is beyond our control due to weather events and over-development thus complaining about flooded trails is misguided. Everyday I see different things that are amazing- some days you see very little animals or birds and others an amazing variety. The goal of the Refuge as a habitat for birds and an area to recreate is met perfectly. This isn't Yellowstone Park so do not come here with unrealistic expectations and you will not be disappointed.
  • Living in the Myrtle Beach area there's not a whole lot of wilderness hiking that I found however the Blue Trail provides a really nice local nature experience. Making your way through Pine and Cypress swamps ending at a pond bikes can share the path plenty of room with good fishing at the end
