Birmingham is best known for its Civil Rights sights and musical heritage, but between live jazz and historic attractions catch the Birmingham Museum of Art or enjoy a detour through the city's botanical gardens.
The Palmetto trail now extends to the Intracoastal waterway. In March 2002, a 7- mile trail was opened extending the trail from the Buck Hall Recreation Area, in McClellanville to the Swamp Fox Trailhead on Highway 17. Starting from Buck Hall Recreation Area, the first 5 miles of trail follow the creek through piney sand ridges, live oak shaded passages, and across tidal creeks with views of the marsh and Intracoastal waterway.
