About Colleton State Park

Colleton State Park sits along the Edisto River in South Carolina's Lowcountry, not far from I-95. The park is the headquarters of the Edisto River Canoe and Kayak Trail, and a boardwalk at the end of the Cypress Swamp Nature Trail reaches the river. Visitors can camp in RV or tent sites, stay in a camper cabin, use picnic shelters, and play on a field. Wikipedia describes it as the smallest state park in South Carolina.
