Caw Caw Interpretive Center

We decided to stop into Caw Caw with our gold pass on an overcast afternoon. The temps were in the 70s and it was absolutely perfect! Julia (I believe the was her name) was super helpful at giving us all the information we needed for our time here at the center. She gave us history and trail info, and a scavenger hunt for the kids to do on our walk! The trails aren't paved, but flat enough for almost anyone to walk on without issue. Some were a little bumpier than others, but overall, very accessible.. And wide! We enjoyed the quiet atmosphere, nature sounds, beautiful views of the grass swaying in the wind and even saw a few American Alligators! The facilities were all very clean. We look forward to returning!

Absolutely immersive and beautiful grounds. Well maintained trails. Abundant wild life. (Go early morning for best views!). Birders paradise. Friendly staff. There is an entrance fee unless you have the Charleston County Parks Gold Pass. No cash accepted. Strongly recommend bringing water with you on the well marked trails. Bug spray applied prior is a must (please don’t spray it when you get to the trail!). Wear supportive shoes or hiking boots! There are benches scattered on the trail. A lot of shade, but still a ton of sun. Wear a hat! Bring binoculars! Get out the polarized sunglasses and enjoy the outdoors!

Nice and quiet location to walk and bird watch. The hardwood loop section is more of an animal trail so be prepared to walk single file and watch for all the spider webs across the trail. Cute little gift shop by the education center and bathrooms.

The rice fields trail and swamp sanctuary trails were gorgeous. Bring bug spray for the swamp trail. We saw several birds, lizards, and dragon flies in July. Unfortunately the indoor exhibit center is closed for renovation.

Really lovely walking trails! The actual interpretive center was closed when we went through at 4 but the rice fields were beautiful and so was the board walk

Beautiful trails and scenery. I am relatively active, and this trail was easy to me. There were some mud puddles here and there, but that's not enough to turn me away from he great outdoors. It was rather inconvenient that I was "allowed" to pay exact change to gain entry into the park. Swiping a card for $2. Keep an eye out for sunbathing gators and beware of microaggressions. Iykyk.

This is a must visit if you are a nature lover. I would recommend going in with atleast 3 hours. You need to give yourself time to immerse in the surroundings. The place is teeming with birds. You need to have an ear and a sharp eye to spot them. There are alligators, you will see them. I spotted an armadillo. The people managing the centre are very knowledgeable and want you to enjoy the place. I went almost during the closing time and Jennifer made sure that I came out safely before the closing time :) It’s recommended that you carry bug repellents.

Absolutely beautiful non commercialized park. The staff were very friendly. We seen lots of gators, an armadillo, and baby eagles. Great place to spend a sunny day.
