Killian Swamp Road

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 leads deep into the backwater swamp of Palachucola WMA. After heavy rains, the swamp can overflow onto the road and can create a potential obstacle. When mapping the trail the swamp was at record levels; however, the road was still intact under the water. This was one of our favorite trails within the area due to the abundant amount of wildlife spotted during the trail.

This is a maintained gravel road; however, after heavy rains the swamp overtakes the gravel road a creates water crossings ~12" deep. The water crossings were level with no incline or ruts at the time of mapping.
