Best Hiking Trails in Brunswick County NC

August 7, 2018 by admin Leave a Comment

Planning a day hike? There are a lot of beach hikes in Sunset Beach and Bird Island to explore and most of them are pretty tame, at no more than about 3 miles.

The Waccamaw Neck BikewayBest Hiking Trails in Brunswick County NC

This 18-mile off-road trail is perfect for hiking, walking, or biking and it’s handicap accessible. It parallels the Ocean Highway and Kings River Road and is considered easy. On the trail, hikers can access the Huntington Beach State Park and the Brookgreen Gardens. Parking is available at the Morse Park Landing and Murrells Inlet as well as the Huntington Beach State Park. However, if you park at the state park there is an admission fee.

Grissom Parkway Trail

This park is located in Myrtle Beach and is a 5.2 mile, asphalt trail perfect for hikers, walkers, and bicyclists. It’s actually part of the 3000 mile East Coast Greenway system and because there’s no designated trailhead, you can park in any of the commercial areas along the Parkway.

Bird Island

Park at 40th St. and W. Main St. in downtown Sunset Beach and you’re right at the park entrance. This is a beautiful bird reserve with beautiful sandy beaches, high natural dunes, and more than 1200 acres of beautiful salt marsh and title creeks. You can wander around or take a bike on some of the paths or even sign up for one of the guided educational walk’s at 8:30 AM every Wednesday from June through August. The further you walk down you might even run into the mailbox labeled “Kindred Spirit”. This unique landmark has been used by visitors to express their hopes and dreams or just to share a positive note.

Green Swamp Preserve

This open ecological, 15,000-acre treasure has beautiful trails where visitors can enjoy rare plant specimens, endangered wildlife, and unique extensive populations of carnivorous plants including the Venus flytrap and the pitcher plant. To access, visit the Southeast Coastal Conservancy at 2807 Market St. in Wilmington.

Ev-Henwood Nature Preserve

This unique nature preserve is open to the public and available to individuals or groups for guided tours or just open trail systems. The David Sieren learning trail and the Troy Henry learning trail are several trails with plant identification labels throughout and learning stations. Each trail takes about two hours and there is a manual at the Arboretum or can be downloaded from their website

Boiling Springs Lakes Preserve

This large wetland makes up over 6000 acres of landscape to explore. There’s a lot of recreational activities and the trails are perfect for biking, or just taking in the wildlife and the rare wildflowers.

“Life will lead you to where you belong. Five years ago life led me to meeting Karen Baker at an Open House. Our relationship continues as Karen and her husband Frank have been outstanding not only in helping my husband and I find the right retirement relocation home, but we have watched their commitment in helping many others find their homes. She and Frank treat every client as if they are the only ones that exist. They provide thorough research of areas and homes of interest and present you with the options. They are not your typical hard sell, must-buy-now realtors. They are here to help you find your next home?. You won’t go wrong with the Bakers!

“The Bakers treated us like family during our whirlwind weekend of looking at houses. Prior to our on-site visit to Sunset Beach they created a portal and populated it with properties that met our ever-evolving criteria. By time we arrived we had a good feel for what we could afford and what was available that met our criteria. The Bakers, especially Karen, were able to make sense of what we thought we were looking for and eventually matched us with a house that we ended up purchasing — Karen called it the “This is it” house and she was right. We are loving our 2nd home and appreciate how painless Karen and Frank made the process. All the paperwork was done seamlessly and quickly and the closing went off without a hitch. The Bakers do not believe in the hard sell — they gave us the knowledge we needed and the guidance we needed to make our dream a reality.”

Amy and I have bought and sold four properties in the past twelve years. Both of you are the best realtors we have ever dealt with. Amy and I both felt we could trust you to look out for our interest. The level of service you provided was outstanding, from taking the trash out, helping the buyer with inspecting the irrigation system, dealing with our tenants, always being there if we needed to ask a question, providing constant updates on the market and always keeping us informed on the sale of our house. I think your next venture should be training other realtors, because both of you have mastered the art of providing excellent service. I will be sure to recommend the Frank and Karen team to anybody looking for a trust worthy, knowledgeable and top performing realtor. It was a pleasure working with both of you.”
