Day hike to Savannah River Bluffs Heritage Preserve. The preserve has 1,076 feet of river frontage on one of the few remaining river shoals of the Savannah River. These shoals harbor the rare rocky shoals spider lily and Relict Trillium, which is on the federal endangered species list, Bottle-brush Buckeye, Upland Swamp Privet, Yellow-wood, False Rue Anemone and other rare or special-status plants. The river also has rock formations that may be remnants of ancient Native American fishing weirs. The foot trail was built to facilitate public use of the preserve. The trail parallels a stream to the river bluffs, then follows an old logging road back to the power line. The trail passes rock formations, the Savannah River and interesting forest and plant communities.
