Recognized world-wide as a center for equestrian breeding and training, South Carolina’s Thoroughbred Country is also filled with history and natural beauty. Enjoy the songs of birds in the region’s natural areas; experience unusual wildlife and plant life in the elliptical phenomenon known as a Carolina Bay; hike through an urban forest or let the elegance of a local garden carry you to another time. For more active recreation, paddle the world’s longest free-flowing, blackwater river, the Edisto River.
