Pretty walk and picture taking trails are not very long

Very beautiful place. The fishing area is serene and beautiful. There are many mosquitos and large spiders. Be careful not to walk into a spiders web.

Love everything about the Waccamaw River! Serenity at its finest! Many people have no idea this amazing place is a short drive from the beach!

I was very disappointed with this wildlife refuge. I drove here from Georgia, because the website made it seems as if it was a great place to view diverse wildlife. To start there were lots of motorized boats I could hear engines the entire time. The wetland trail was closed due to damage in 2015, I thought things would have been prepared sometime in the last 4 years. The trails that were open were short about a mile in length and, wide enough for a vehicle and were very worn down from bikes. The website was very misleading. The map showed large amounts of nature (they claim 22 acres) but the trails do not access much of it. Its a great place for fishing and boating but not for wetland nature viewing. There were some cute toads though.

If you and to kyak, paddle board or any paddle boat type craft this place is great you can see gators in the wild

Excellent staff and a wonderful experience.

Waccamaw River Tour. A must. Learned about the rivers and the Intercoastal water way.

Went on a kayaking trip. Gorgeous scenery. If you want a great kayaking tour, look up Gator Bait Adventure Tours. Lovely and friendly people. Willing to teach new kayakers or take experienced ones for a neat trip.

Beautiful place to connect with nature

Beautiful area for fishing, having a picnic, going for a walk. Wheelchair access

Perfect spot for kayaking and wildlife viewing. Nice hiking and bike trails

Chris and Jane were great guides. Both so knowledgeable and we saw a lot of different species of wildlife. Our favorite was all the alligator sightings. Very professional and extremely friendly and helpful. 5 stars for Gator Bait Tours. Thank you, Chuck and Gloria

Beautiful place to just let go of the world for a little bit and be at peace with nature. If your into nature walks, fishing, kayaking/ canoeing, or you just want to escape the city and enjoy some time to yourself this is the place to go

The swamp is neither scary nor worthless but slightly boring. Nice short nature walk. Lacks wildlife and could use some maintenance and additional activities/informational guides. The website is misleading and the only wildlife I saw were small cute frogs.

Its one of my most favorite places to go its very peaceful and there are several trails to hike down with some benches to sit on along the way in case you need a break the paths are pretty clear of tree roots and other things you could trip over so its pretty safe

One of the most beautiful rivers of ever been on. Lots of Fish and Wildlife all around it

Talked to much about rice and not enough about the Indians or wildlife boat ride is to long 2 hours maybe try to talk about the way the river was made or even some wildlife.

Quiet area for a walk. A couple of trails not to strenuous.

Caught mostly catfish. recommend having a guide if you want to explore. its not open sunday so you have to plan your weekend accordingly

Quiet, peaceful with a beautiful view and volunteers happy to tell you all about the low country.

A beautiful coastal swamp with plentiful wildlife; song birds, alligators, fish, ospry, egrets. Best appreciated by kayak or small boat.

Looking to catch some fish? Then THIS is the place to go!Great place to take the fam!!! Jus watch out for any gators!!! And the snakes are startn to show themselves too! Saw a really long Black Snake 5 days ago & right at loading dock!!!!But even though with all that said, you will find that at any River you go just wanted to give a little piece of advice and word of recognition especially for anyone taking the children ️ ️ it is a fantastic place to go

Turned a sloppy area into a nice nature walk facility on the waterway

Pristine wilderness, hasnt changed in a thousand years!

There use of one inch plusstone on walking trails could cause injuries to people on foot. Also the boardwalk through a portion of swamp has been closed since 2015. Seems like maintenance is lacking. Also the area is void of any wildlife. Maybe the time of year? Great place to walk your dogs! See the park service driving around, but not anything else but leaning on shovels and talking by service shed. The park could use some attention! There is some trash and vandalization taking place that does not get the attention it needs. A shame really.

Great course. Good help in the proshop. Usual fare in the grill.

I love this place, so much wildlife refuge in this place.

Not disliked, just boring. We were going down ICW on our boat but besides a few birds didnt see anything. We saw the tour boats stop & point out some nests in trees. We looked with binoculars & didnt see anythong in the nests. Of well, glad we didnt pay for the tour, just our diesel.

Good place to hike, bike, fish or just hang out with friends.

The visitor center is fairly new with a small museum with info on local animals. They also have some small live animals in another room. The trails right by the center are closed due to construction. Trails about 25 mins away are open at Cox Ferry Lake just south in Conway. Last year it was opposite when those trails were closed due to flooding but the ones by the visitor center were open. Point is to always call first or visit the visitor center before going on the trails. Anyways the trails were nice especially by the boardwalk. They have turtles and alligators. Also a guy we were talking to caught a blue crab and a catfish. Very nice.

River tour was wonderful. learned about the local history.

It was a nice walk, but it can flood after heavy rains

A sign informed us that the boardwalk had been closed for 2 years. That was the main reason we went. We still walked a little ways on the Blue Trail, but stopped because a section was under water (even though it hadnt rained recently). Maybe, things would have been better if we had gone to a different section.

Motored up river with in-laws. Anchored overnight at a scenic bend next to a beach. Up the beach was a 2-mile trail (seemed longer)

A hidden gem to drive a boat to, anchor out and explore the island!

Beautiful location. I launched from Peachtree Landing.

Awesome, very scenic place to visit! The trails are marked, & very woodsy.. beautiful. We spent 2 1/2 hrs walking/hiking. Love this place!

Great place to hike. 4 stars for no restroom and bridge being closed for 3 yearsonly with only minimal damage. I would still recommend and plan on making many more visits.

You can really forget that busy 544 is right around the corner! Great for photographers!, dog owners, hikers, anyone needing some calmness only being amongst trees and nature can provide! Summer does get super buggy so bring lots of bug spray!!

You never know what to expect. Until you try it for yourself

No bathrooms or visitors center. Boardwalk trail has been close since 2015 due to storm damage. Walking/bike trail is okay, nothing to see though. Good area to canoe and that is about it.

Very cool I love the waccamaw river

A great place to see nature.

Very pretty. Had a nice calm night at anchor.

Located on the banks of the Pee Dee River, wildlife center has a nice visitors center and excellent educational programs, but few hiking or walking trails. It is accessible by boat and kayak. Its primary purpose is preservation of wetlands and forests that border the river.

It was a neat tine3

Nice outdoor facility.

Beautiful in every way

Great walking trails

Extremely bad place, even no birds or other animals go there. It should be renamed to Mosquito park, because it has nothing else other than mosquitoes! Dont go there, no matter what !!

This is a wonderful place beautiful

Its quiet and peaceful

An unbelievable gem of a place.

Saw Egrets, Herons, and Alligators, great fun.

Great place to go visit wildlife and Marthas House!!!

Gorgeous setting lots wildlife turkeys, alligators, deer

Great place for solitude

Christmas

A nice place to ride your bike or walk your dog or just to get out in the woods and see some of the beauty of the South Carolina lowlands.

Awesome great place.

Great outdoor fishing adventure. Made a memory for a 10 year old. He caught his first catfish!

Very Scenic & Great Fishing

The extremely LOUD airboat needs to go. It disrupts the wildlife thats supposed to be protected. The boat landing is the worst Ive ever seen. Fix it right, or close it. The passengers on the airboat have to wear hearing protection, so what is the loud engine doing to the animals, so STUPID.

Gliding on the water, riding in a boat with people you enjoy and your dog, just can not beat the South Carolina life

Excellent place to visit.

Wildlife conservation is very important. Go to youtube to Jim Fishers Wide World of Wildlife!

Nice walking paths very peaceful

What a beautiful river

The only place that have real gambling fun when I am in South Carolina.

Beautiful park. Great trails. Wonderful wild life

Really nice visitors center & volunteers are friendly. Beautiful habitats along the river

I drive down to the edge of the river every morning and forget about life for a while. Very relaxing..

Excellent Information, Great Exibit, Clean restrooms, Boat Dock, Rocking chairs on the porch, picnic tables, live animals, Tee shirts and hats, maps, friendly folks...

Nice bike trails. Very nice, scenic views along the way!

Nice place to walk but be sure to wear lots of big repellant. Part of the blue trail was closed due to flood damage. I will return.

This is a large wildlife refuge that protects important ecosystems in South Carolina along the River.

Beautiful place to see!!

Great place to golf at the witch

Super cool down, excellent!

Its absolutely beautiful here. There is so much to do here.

Beautiful place. Wish the trails were better maintaned.

Its a great place to take your family

Great break from the crowded beaches

Nice nature area with fishing, trails and kayaking.

Fishing was terrible dont waste ur time

Great place to picnic, take a stroll with the family through the woods, kayak and fish.

Quiet, serene, nature at its best!

Great place to visit and learn about wildlife and rice fields. Alot of history!

Nice walking park

Beautiful place, quite and peaceful

A little something off the beaten path. I would recommend this to anybody who visits Myrtle Beach.
