Our trail system meanders through Longleaf Pine, grassland and woodland habitats being restored by Beilder Forest staff and volunteers. Free to the public and open everyday from sunrise to sunset, the trails give visitors the opportunity to explore a new section of the sanctuary in beautiful Harleyville, SC. The diverse habitat attracts birds and other wildlife not typically seen on the Beidler Forest boardwalk, such as Painted Buntings, Indigo Buntings, Blue Grosbeaks, Loggerhead Shrikes, Eastern Bluebirds, Purple Martins, and many sparrow species.

Parking for the trails are located only a few feet from the Beidler Forest gate off Mim's Road. Be sure to watch the bird feeders for buntings, woodpeckers, and sparrows!
