Sea Pines Forest Preserve, Hilton Head

We had a wonderful time at both the Walking & Driving areas of the Preserve. If you're not staying at Sea Pines or have a pass already, you will need to purchase one. The day pass was $9.00. The trails on the walking areas were well maintained and marked. The Rice Field Boardwalk was just teeming with wildlife. The Vanishing Swamp boardwalk didn't have much wildlife, but the foliage was gorgeous. The driving area was beautiful with the ponds and wildflower area. Very narrow roadway. Overall a very lovely, well maintained preserve.

Day pass fee is 9 dollars per car, pretty reasonable I thought. We just did the preserve but there seems to be an entire world back behind that gate! Who knew?? The preserve is very nice, flat trails very well marked. The raised walkways through the swamps are in great shape, we saw tons of Anoles (small lizards), Heron, ducks and other birds and I'm sure in warmer weather there of lots of gators. Great place to walk the dog or kids!

The trails here are nice and flat and well maintained. Beautiful scenery. You will pay a $9 charge to enter this portion of the island unless you're a resident or renter in Sea Pines. Signs were very helpful when navigating the preserve. Highly recommend.

Really pretty location. Lots of easy trails to hike on for hours. We were here in the winter time, so we didn't see too many animals. I'd say the most lacking thing is the restrooms, there just weren't enough of them for the size of the park.

Really beautiful preserve. It was winter (January) but we saw some animals entering the preserve and in the preserve. Shell ring was interesting. It is $9 to enter this part of the island. Thought it was worth it for the day. Perhaps seeing animals made it all the more enjoyable.
