| Savannah National Wildlife Refuge, established April 6, 1927, consists of 25,608 acres of freshwater marshes, tidal rivers and creeks and bottomland hardwoods, in Jasper County, South Carolina. The 3,000 acres of freshwater impoundments managed for migratory waterfowl were formerly the rice fields of plantations dating back to the mid or late 1700's. Many of the dikes enclosing these pools were originally built with slave labor. All dikes are open to foot travel during daylight hours, unless otherwise posted, and provide excellent wildlife observation points. About half the refuge is bottomland, composed primarily of cypress, gum and maple. |
