If ever in the Moncks Corner, SC area, one spot you sure don't want to pass the opportunity to visit, is Old Santee Canal Park. The Santee Canal was established in the 1800, and hold the crown of being the first true canal built in America. The canal served as a rout of trade along the Cooper River to Charleston, SC.
The natural beauty of the park can be seen across the 4 miles of boardwalks through the wetlands surrounding the area which is home to many species of wildlife. The main interpretive center museum displays the natural and rich culture that was found on the historic Stony Landing Plantation. Also, the property is home to a plantation house that was built in the 19th century.
There is a small fee to visit the site during its operating hours during the day throughout the week and weekends. There are also many events throughout the year hosted on the property. A few events are as follows, Shuckin' in the Park Oyster Roast, Berkeley County Kids Who Care Project Competition, and Berkeley County Birdhouse Building Contest.
