Description

Lake Marion Passage follows the high-water mark and links the city of Santee with Mill Creek County Park. Hikers will find good views of the upper coastal plain and Lake Marion. Between miles 5-6, a side trek to Fort Watson Road leads to 3,500 year old Santee Indian burial mounds. Notably, much of this trail is on gravel and blacktop.
