Pintail Island Kayaking

Join us for a Fall trip to Pintail Island. We’ll paddle around the island and in some coves to see the changing leaf colors among the cypress and tupelo trees. Birds are migrating and this area of Lake Marion is one of the places they often pass through. We typically see herons, egrets and ducks and sometimes during migration we see storks and ibis. This is a unique area that runs parallel to the Diversion Canal connecting Lake Marion and Lake Moultrie.
