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.

Santee State Park sits on the shores of Lake Marion, South Carolina’s largest lake, and is a favorite destination for campers, hikers, and anglers. The park spans 2,500 acres and offers more than 10 miles of trails, two campgrounds, and unique rondette cabins, some perched directly over the water. Visitors can enjoy fishing for the lake’s famous catfish, explore the flooded cypress forest by pontoon boat, or relax by a campfire. With a blend of outdoor recreation and lakeside relaxation, Santee State Park is a perfect getaway for outdoor enthusiasts of all stripes.

Preserving the site of the Battle of Eutaw Springs (September 8, 1781), which was the last major Revolutionary War engagement in the Carolinas, this small 2.7-acre park features a historic marker and the relocated grave of British commander Major John Marjoribanks, whose original resting place was submerged with the creation of Lake Marion. Today, visitors can walk the grounds, reflect on the battle’s significance, and connect with nearby lands that extend the battlefield’s footprint.
