Stamp #3: Woods Bay State Park


Woods Bay State Park is 60 miles north of Little Pee Dee State Park, so we headed that way, passing through Florence on I 95. We stopped in Florence for a late lunch which was a good thing since Woods Bay State Park is also located in a rural area off I 95 near Olanta, SC. The main feature of this park is to preserve one of the last remaining Carolina bays. The park features an 1,150 foot boardwalk through a cypress swamp. Signs posted near the boardwalk warn visitors of the alligator habitat, however, we did  not see alligators during our visit. The boardwalk dead ends at a sign boasting of future development to the Carolina Bay.
