This is a nice little park along the Stono River. Very accessible and easy to explore. The walking path is wide with the first 1/3 asphalt. The second 1/3 is composite decking on a raised boardwalk. The final portion is dirt/crushed gravel. With the exception of the boardwalk it is shaded and most of what is visible is marsh until you get to the end where the river is visible but not accessible. Worn and clearly well used, nicely maintained and clean. Great place for a relaxing stroll. read more

Nice, newer park, with updated facilities/parking, but not a whole lot to see as far as trees/wildlife. A nice walk out to the island and views of the marsh, the boardwalk is nice and not crowded. They're keeping up on maintenance, as they had signs up saying how they had removed trees that had invasive bug problems, which is good since maintenance is often neglected. If you're in the area, check it out. read more

This is our favorite spot to take the pup for a walk. It is quiet, serene and beautiful. A quick way to get 1.5 miles under your belt while being surrounded by nature. Various birds like to hang out in the marsh area. There are often other pups and children that we meet along our walks as well. With that said, I would highly recommend going with someone else as there were a few times I encountered some questionable individuals in the secluded, gravel area past the boardwalk. The sunsets are stunning and you will often see fiddler crabs crossing your path. Simply gorgeous! read more

Such a lovely, small park! The trail is easy and great for any time of day. It occasionally gets busy on a nice weekend but usually we're one of just a few cars there. Gorgeous views and nice facilities including a bathroom and dog waste disposal. read more

Stono River County Park - Iced over area from a cold day - Parks Near Me - Charleston, South Carolina

The best way to start a Monday morning is with a nature walk through Stono River County Park. Located off of Main St. next to John Limehouse Bridge. This is a well cared for park. Lots of parking and restrooms accessible just off of the parking lot. Pets are welcome on leashes. The paths are paved and very easy to walk or ride bikes. The show piece is a gorgeous wooden boardwalk that expands across the marsh. Beautiful scenic views of the Stono River and Limehouse bridge. A canopy of trees line the wooded trails. You lose yourself in nature while you are here. There are several bench seats on the boardwalk to rest or just relax and take in the beauty of nature. If you haven't been to Stono River County Park, this is a must see! read more

Visited the Stono River County Park today. The weather was perfect for a morning walk. The park is located on Johns Island just off of Main, next to the John Limehouse Bridge. The park is a hidden gem. The park has two boardwalks and well-groomed hiking trails. Beautiful views of the marshes and the Stono River. There are several vantage points where you can see the boats going up and down the Stono River. It is a very peaceful and scenic walk. The round trip is about a mile to a mile and a half. I recommend that you visit this beautiful park. read more

Stonewall river county park at the end of West Ashley greenway is great for families and accessible for most with good tires. A short walk in the woods across the Boardwalk onto the island with a loop. High tide low tide or in between, there are usually crabs to be seen. read more

Beautiful park with a great walking trail that I think is 1.5 miles long but it's a loop, so you can walk it as many times as you want! There is also a GORGEOUS bridge/boardwalk for part of the trail that gives you a beautiful sunset view. Very clean and 10/10 recommend! read more

Love the trails for this park, easy to navigate and only a few miles long. It can be hard to exit though - lots of cars like to speed through from the bridge or going towards the bridge so use extra caution. read more

The park seems well maintained. It features an easy to follow walk path, with marsh scenery. It is not a long walk. The path itself is flat and varies between concrete, boardwalk, and dirt/gravel. Definitely something that the whole family could enjoy. read more

We discovered this new county park during the COVID-19 pandemic. Right now it's the place to go for a quiet walk in West Ashley or Johns Island, as it's about 1/2 mile from the West Ashley Greenway. The park's entrance is gated, and you'll find parking, bathrooms, and water before you hit the trail. The park is home to trails that are connected via boardwalk. The view from the boardwalk and the nature make this a beautiful park for walking or running. You can ride your bike on most of the trails and paths, but not on the boardwalk- and the boardwalk is a bit long to push a bike. The trail is not technical or long, so it's perfect for families with kids, older adults, or dog walking. Right now, Stono River Park lacks the bells and whistles of other Charleston County Parks. That isn't a bad thing, but I'd love to see a playground or some workout equipment (pull up bars, etc). The park opened in March, so I'm confident that Charleston County will add amenities and host events later in 2020. read more

Beautiful place for a brisk walk or family picnic. It's dog friendly (on leash) and provides awesome views of the marsh, river and Limehouse bridge. Note: starting 22 February, the park will be closed due to eradication efforts against the invasive Japanese Long Horned Beetle.

I can't believe I've never been here (or even heard of this up until a couple of days ago). This is a great little park to go for a walk. Dogs and bikes are welcome, though you have to walk your bike across the boardwalk. There are bathrooms too, which is always a plus. Highly recommend and can't wait to go back. read more

Great place to go for a walk. Far from Mt. Pleasant, but worth the drive to see something new. I've been twice: once with a friend who took me, and once when I took my parents. Good place to walk or bike, although biking requires you to walk your bike along the bridge. Dogs seem to love it here. It's free to walk, of course, but donations are encouraged. read more

Great new area to walk, beautiful setting on the water. My dog enjoyed the shade and I loved the dog bags/ trash receptacles/ dog fountain. Benches for resting also nice. read more

This park is absolutely beautiful and a wonderful place to walk your dog. It is always clean and well maintained and the views are stunning.

It was a nice park but be careful with the paws of your dog when you get to the trex board bridge, he got burned .
