Walterboro Wildlife Sanctuary - Nature preserve in Walterboro - , USA

I say 4 stars only because the walking trails were very short! From one end of the trail all the way to the Ivanhoe / 17A access point and back was 3mi max. The trails are well maintained, although the boardwalks can be a little slippery from algae / humidity. Most of the trail is paved. I can’t see canoeing here being enjoyable but I may have missed something. No bathrooms!!

We visited April sixth 2022. Partly cloudy, very breezy and about eighty degrees. We walked the nice of very old boardwalk. Saw the usual swamp trees, some flowers, a small flock of white ibis and millions and millions of eastern tent caterpillars. No! There were way more that a person could count. I've been a field biologist for the Florida park service for thirty years and never saw anything like this. They were everywhere on the boardwalk railings. They were off course falling out of the trees and then they tried to climb back up but they got stuck on the railings and couldn't figure out how to get off. You'll maybe never see them when your visiting but it was amazing and a bit creepy.

This WAS a nice little nature walk but what is up with this town not repairing the boardwalks that were damaged over three years ago with the tornadoes in April of 2020?????? The bigwigs in town want to brag about the sanctuary but it would help if it was usable and not in such disrepair! You can't brag on something you can't use!!!!

This is a great park with a great mixture of nature. You have wooden bridge, gravel, cement, and lots of birds animals and critters of all kinds. You'll have a blast walking through here. Lots of shade thanks to all the beautiful trees kid friendly Park

What a Beautiful place just minutes from downtown. This special place takes you away from all the hustle and bustle that life throws at you. A must visit!

The park IS open, only some of the boardwalks are closed for maintenance. Very nice trail to walk, lots of birds and mushrooms to observe. It was a nice place to get out and stretch during our trip.

Really nice place the caterpillars have taken over for the moment it was really amazing to see

Very nice place to visit the experience of typical swamp conditions of the south east states. Beautiful in early spring and late fall. I'd advise caution on hot humid summer days. Yellow flies, (Deer Flies) and mosquitos. From late spring to mid fall, keep an eye out for snakes such as Copperheads and Water Moccasins. Though they are not aggressive, just keep your distance and watch where you are walking. During the winter months, No worries about insects or snakes.
