Hike Hobcaw: Clambank

About this event

@ This 4-mile hike takes you to one of the most studied estuaries in the world: the salt marsh of North Inlet. The group will travel by bus to the forest edge where the hike begins. The marsh causeway will lead to Clambank Landing, an Indigenous Peoples shell midden that later housed the duck hunting cabins for Bernard Baruch and his guests. In the distance, participants will see North Island and part of Hobcaw Beach, where Belle Baruch watched for German spies during World War II. Pictures and stories of the history and ecology will be shared. Participants will need to dress for the weather, wear closed-toe shoes, and bring bug spray, snack, and water. If weather conditions prevent safe travel, the program will be cancelled. (Exertion level: High impact – hiking, standing for long periods, walking on uneven terrain) Reservations required. Please note that tour participants travel via a 14-person passenger bus on rustic roads comprised of sand and dirt. Often, the roads are extremely rough and rutted, a situation which will jostle riders on the bus. Although the staff at Hobcaw Barony tries to keep them smooth, due to changeable weather and other factors, the condition of the rural roadways cannot be guaranteed to be smooth. per person Add to calendar Google Calendar iCalendar Outlook 365 Outlook Live
