Fort McAllister State Park

When you've got a class on-site called "Let's Get Batty With Sarah," you know you've struck pure gold. Fort McAllister State Park has events on everything from the local bat population to dressing up like pirates for the Haunting of Blackbeard's Island, and this is just where the fun begins. Rent a kayak and boat around the glimmering lake, or have a peaceful picnic under the palmettos. Historians won't be able to resist the Civil War programs either, and nature-lovers will enjoy the trails and birding to be had. Whether you're kicking your feet up on the fishing dock, or just dipping your toes into Redbird Creek, Fort McAllister State Park knows how to keep life entertaining.
