CHARLESTON COUNTY, S.C. (WCBD) – Whether you want to explore the Lowcountry’s natural beauty or spend time floating on a lazy river, Charleston County Parks can be your destination for family-friendly and adventurous activities this summer season.
Boasting scenic views across Charleston County, each park offers amenities that educate visitors while providing great opportunities for outdoor exercise and miles of walking and nature trails.
Here are some of the more interesting offerings you’ll find at a Charleston County Park:
1: The Challenge Course at James Island County Park
If you want to test your limits through adventure-based learning, try the Challenge Course at James Island County Park either by yourself or with a team.
From ziplines to high climbs and faith falls, step out of your comfort zone and explore three tiers of this specially designed course and work with others as you solve problems and complete objectives.
If that’s not for you: the park offers saltwater fishing and crabbing; miles of paved trails for walking, biking, and skating; a sand volleyball court, a climbing wall, and its popular seasonal Splash Zone Waterpark.
2: Kayaking at Palmetto Island County Park
If you’re looking to spend some time out on the water during the warmer months, head to Palmetto Island County Park in Mount Pleasant. This nature-oriented park provides a kayak launch on its pond.
Personal kayaks are not allowed, but the park does offer on-site rentals.
It’s a great way to learn how to operate a kayak before venturing out onto one of Charleston’s beautiful waterways.
While you are there: Check out the park’s 50-foot observation tower which provides an overview of the marsh and tidal creeks; explore Nature Island; enjoy some fishing and crabbing; or spread out on the park’s large open meadow for games of your choice. You can also cool off at its seasonal Splash Island Waterpark.
