*Caw Caw Interpretive Center, Waterfowl Trail

Caw Caw Interpretive Center is a hidden gem in the Charleston area.  Located in Ravenel, SC, Caw Caw Interpretive Center is part of the Charleston County Parks network.  There are approximately 6 miles of trails, a nature exhibit, educational facility, picnic shelters and restrooms available at park center. There is also one outhouse farther out in the trail system. There are 8 different trails spanning 3 areas, and they all intersect and overlap at different points. If you start at park center, you can see all that the park has to offer. The Waterfowl Trail, as the name implies, is a great place to view waterfowl, alligators and other wildlife . It is the longer of the two marsh trails and the length of your hike will vary depending on which other trails you choose to connect to.  It traces part of the Rice Fields Trail and then reconnects to the Marshland trail. This trail is the outermost point of the Habitat Loop. The most direct way to access the Waterfowl trail is to take the connector trail from the parking lot to the upland forrest loop. From the observation deck you can then begin the loop.
