Description

Looking to spend some time in nature with your pup? If you and Fido find yourselves in Blackville, don't miss the Barnwell State Park, tucked in the southwest corner of town. One of 16 state parks constructed by the Civilian Conservation Corps during the Great Depression, Barnwell is pawhaps best known for its fishing opportunities and pawpular community building. But this 307-acre site also offers other recreational activities that four-legged visitors will appreciate!

Doggos who love their walkies will want to head straight to the park's hiking trails. One of the paths that you and Fido can check out is the 1.5-mile Dogwood Interpretive Trail, which goes around one of the lakes. Start your adventure at the park office and set off in a clockwise direction for an easier trek across the dam at the lower end of the lake. In addition to woofderful views of the water, you and your pooch will pass various trees and shrubs, many of which have small signs to help you identify them. You will also hike through some very thick wooded sections that feature wild orchids, hollies, yellow jessamines, poplars, pines, and oaks. Don't forget to keep an eye out for the many birds and wild animals that live in the park!

Other activities that you can do with your canine BFF are boating and picnicking. Hop onto a rental boat and explore the lakes, then refuel with a packed lunch at one of the picnic shelters or individual picnic tables scattered throughout the site. If you and your pup would like to spend the night here, Barnwell offers a number of campsites and cabins. The cabins are off-limits to furry guests, though, so you'll have to make yourselves at home in the campground.

For relaxing outdoor fun in South Carolina, head to the Barnwell State Park with your doggo!
