SUMMARY:Woods Ferry Recreation Area
DESCRIPTION:Woods Ferry Recreation Area\nCarlisle\, SC\nChester County \nIn Sumter Forest on the east side of the Broad River in Chester County\, we will explore rolling hills of upland pine woods\, maturing hardwood and wooded flood plains. Woods Ferry is nestled between Union to the West\, Chester to the East\, Carlisle to the South and Lockhart to the North. Because Woods Ferry borders the Broad River\, there is a variety of birds and wildlife. Recently \nWe will meet at the picnic area situated between the camping area and the Broad River. Picnic area has sidewalks\, shelters\, grills and a restroom. There are over 21 miles of horse trails from the camping and picnic area to SCAN. There are several creeks and old home sites to discover. \nOn the opposite side of the Broad River in Union county is Dunaway Waterfowl Management Area where wood duck\, teal\, mallard\, black duck can be spotted. Approximately 7 acres of the 21 acres is open land where supplemental food crops are planted. The other portion offers natural foods such as acorns\, smartweed\, panic grasses\, tearthumbs and Asiatic dayflower. For any adventurers\, launch a kayak or canoe from boat landing to cross the broad river less than 500’ to the waterfowl area. An official boat landing is 2000’ upstream. Swimming is not recommended. \nTo see the Neal Shoals dam\, on your return out to Wood Ferry Road\, approximately 2 miles from campground you will turn right onto a gravel road Neals Shoals 304 (Google says Vinson Rd) for a mile and half. Stay to right at the fork which will take you to the hydroelectric dam spillway of Dominion Energy.
