Description:
The Awendaw Passage is a 7-mile single-track segment of the Palmetto Trail, which will extend more than 425 miles across South Carolina when completed. Named for the creek it follows, this scenic trail winds along the edge of a salt marsh and through a forested area where travelers can glimpse the famed palmetto trees, South Carolina's symbolic tree featured on the state's flag.

The Awendaw Passage is the coastal terminus of the Palmetto Trail, ending at the intracoastal waterway. The trail offers sweeping views of the salt marsh and includes an overlook and boardwalk at Walnut Grove.
