For the last four days we have spent time at the gorgeous SKIDAWAY ISLAND STATE PARK, which is situated in close proximity to SAVANNAH, GEORGIA. Skidaway Island, located south of the mouth of the SAVANNAH RIVER, is one of Georgia’s inner coastal islands. It is protected by three barrier islands, TYBEE, WASSAW and OSSABAW ISLANDS. The island is very rich in history, with culture including the indigenous native people, and military activity during the American Revolution and the American Civil War. The grounds within the campground are stunning. We hiked 5 ½ miles on four adjoining trails viewing the gloriously large live oak trees draped in flowing Spanish moss. We also witnessed the beautiful fresh and salt water sloughs, shell middens (mounds of oyster shells), a liquor still, and military earthworks (earthen fortifications from the Civil War). The last day, we also road bikes throughout the park and trails for two hours. What a fabulous place to consider camping.
