Fowl Craw Lake Access

Trail Overview

Explore a blackwater oasis along the Savannah River in Hampton County. The major property is the Webb Wildlife Center with the Palachucola and Hamilton Ridge areas on either side. Many of the trails through the property cross between these three areas; note that the gates can close with no upfront notice due to scheduled/special hunts, flooding, and/or management use. Foot travel and bicycles are permitted beyond gates and barricades unless a hunt is taking place. This route spurs off the Hamilton Ridge Wildlife Loop and offers access to Fowl Craw Lake for fishing and observing wildlife. The trail takes you deep into the blackwater swamp with few water crossings. At times, the swamp is flooded and access to Fowl Craw Lake is not possible; however, the trail continues further through the swamp to the lake and Savannah River.
