SCIway's Trail-O-Dex Outdoor Recreation Web Site is an extensive reference site showing over three hundred parks and recreation areas in South Carolina. Also included are fourteen bicycling routes and two long-distance trails.
If you are new to this state, you can quickly locate nearby parks by clicking on the county you live in or the counties around it. If you have lived here for a while, you may have already seen some of the more well known sights. By looking under different counties and special interests, you can find many new and interesting places to go and things to do. If you do not live in South Carolina but will be visiting, you can use this guide to decide where you would like to go and what to see.

Nearly every county guide page now has a map on it. The parks and recreation areas are shown as green or red circles which you can click on to get more information. You can also click on any underlined text to find out more info about the place listed or to go to an adjacent county.
As with any web site of this type, all of the information is subject to change. Altho I make much effort to update these pages as soon as I find out about changes, I cannot assume any liability for errors. Like any normal human, I do make mistakes sometimes.
Most of the larger recreation areas have posted hours in which they are open to the public. These hours are, of course, subject to change. Most of the smaller parks either have no posted hours, or are simply open during daylight hours.
Many of the larger recreation areas charge admission fees, which change from time to time, while the smaller parks are almost always free to visit.
Many of the parks are recreation areas allow visitors to bring dogs along. In almost all cases, dogs are required to remain leashed at all times. One notable exception is that a few parks have special fenced off-leash dog areas, where dogs may be allowed to roam free.
The following places offer off-leash dog areas:
Also, note that many of South Carolina's oceanfront communities have ordinances regarding dogs on the beach. For example, the city of Folly Beach does not allow dogs to be on the beach from 10:00a to 6:00p during the months of May to September.
The South Carolina Department of Transportation assigns numbers to all secondary roads that they maintain. They are in the format S-[County number]-[Road number]. You can see these numbers on the small black signs located above the stop signs.
I don't use any of the commercially available web page creation tools or HTML generators to build this web site. The park pages and county pages are generated with a program that I wrote in Visual Basic called Trail-O-Dex Manager. I hand-coded the other pages (such as the one you are reading now) using only a text editor.
The text editor I use is known as Editeur. It is an outstanding shareware program from Studioware (http://www.studioware.com/), available at a very reasonable price.
