The Santee Passage of the Palmetto Trail offers roughly 14 miles of hiking and biking through South Carolina’s lake country. Running between the towns of Santee and Eutawville, the route winds past wetlands, pine forests, and open fields, with occasional glimpses of Lake Marion along the way. Trail users can expect a mix of paved and natural surfaces, making it accessible yet still adventurous, and the trail passes along the southern edge of Santee State Park, extending opportunities for camping, fishing, and other lakeside activities.
