Visitors can walk or bike a network of trails through maritime forest and out to hammock islands. The park offers furnished cabins set in the woods near the salt marsh, plus campsites along the oceanfront and in shaded forest. Its Environmental Learning Center holds fossils, live animals, and exhibits about Edisto Island and the ACE Basin. Some beach access points may be restricted by erosion, so check the park advisory before visiting.
