Did you know? Florence County is home to one of the last remaining large Carolina Bays, located in Woods Bay State Park. Catch a glimpse from the 1,150-foot boardwalk winding through the park’s cypress forest. For an even closer view, bring or rent a kayak/canoe and launch on the park’s canoe trail.
