There are no motor vehicles allowed in the park. We usually walk about a mile in and check out the roosting birds at Ibis Pond. There are usually a lot more than Ibis there. We saw Green Herons, Tri-colored Herons, Great White Egrets, Great Blue Herons, Cattle Egrets, a few Wood Storks, a Bluebird and a Scarlett Taneger. There are... More

When the tide went out, the marsh came alive. There were little crabs running around and birds of all kinds all over the marsh. You can stand still and watch the salt marsh come alive. If you are not familiar with the salt marshes of the low country, this is a great place to learn.

Always a beautiful and peaceful place to walk or ride bikes. Located perfectly between Bluffton and HHI

We wanted a nice quite place to walk and just spend time together. This was the perfect place. Very beautiful scenery and lots of natural beauty. We walked to the first pond and saw 3 alligators. All in all, a very nice couple of hours.

We hiked it, but be forwarned- the signage on the trails is lousy and there were no more printed maps at the parking lot (perhaps no money in the budget!). There are no bathrooms at the lot nor anywhere in the refuge- better... More

We've been visiting Hilton Head Island for many years and never took the time to visit this refuge until last year. What a wonderful walk we had. The paths are clearly marked and the vegetation and wildlife prolific. We'll be visiting again with family in June!

This is a great place to go if you are looking to get out and do some walking/running. All kinds of birds and other wildlife can be seen here. Easy parking area thats never over crowded and in no way do you feel unsafe while walking through this place. All kinds of paths and roads to take. Can take bikes... More

We took a two-hour guided kayak ride. Loved the marshes and oyster beds, and enjoyed learning about them. Lots of lovely birds, as well.

A must place to relax and get away from busy Hilton Head. This refuge which is just before you go across the bridge into Hilton Head is a special place for viewing wildlife. It is easy to walk and offers many signs to show you what to look for. Birding is good the entire year.
