Caw Caw Interpretive Center

The Caw Caw Interpretive Center, located about 20 miles from downtown Charleston, is a great place for walking, birding, and enjoying nature. The Center was part of several rice plantations and home to enslaved Africans. Visitors will learn about the history of rice production and the significance African American slaves provided in rice production.

The park features over 6 miles of well maintained raised trails, bridges, and boardwalks that wind through numerous distinct coastal plain habitats. Animals that may be encountered include alligators, otters, turtles, snakes, lizards, frogs, crabs, deer, ospreys and eagles.

The park also has a learning center which includes exhibits about the park, a picnic area, butterfly garden, and museum store.
