Bonneau Ferry WMA - Plantation Entrance

Trail Overview

Bonneau Ferry Wildlife Management Area covers over 10,000 acres of pine savannahs, bottomland hardwoods, wildlife openings, wetlands, and reservoirs. Recreational opportunities range from hunting and fishing to bird watching, hiking, and viewing the area's rich cultural attributes, such as the ruins of the Comingtee Plantation House and Rice Mill. Bonneau Ferry WMA has four lakes open to non-motorized boating and fishing. Bonneau Ferry may temporarily close for special hunts that can be found online on the SC DNR website. Make sure to double-check that the property is open before visiting. All impoundments are closed from November 1 - February 8th each year for the waterfowl season. This trail begins in the left corner of the parking lot near the mailboxes and travels the plantation entrance road into the property. Make sure to still check in at the kiosk before entering the property. This trail ends at a private gate so backtracking is necessary, but offers a glimpse into the route into the plantation via the management area.

Difficulty

The road is a hard-packed gravel road that was recently graded and re-graveled by the onsite DNR office. There are no obstacles on the trail. I drove the trail in the rain and there was no flooding or mud to be concerned with at the time of publishing. ATVs are not permitted on the roads on the property at this time.
