Audubon Silver Bluff Sanctuary- Aiken, SC


Aiken, SC is lucky enough to have so many special protected places like Hitchcock Woods, Carolina Bay but there another sanctuary you may not know about that’s 3,400-acre woodlands overlooking the Savannah River.

So where are we right now? It is Audubon Silver Bluff Sanctuary. Here you will find extensive pine forests and bottomland hardwood forests; beautiful walking trails; 50 acres of lakes and ponds; 100 acres of grassland; and all manner of birds and wildlife. 

 

Silver Bluff is a haven for wildlife and wildlife watchers. More than 200 bird species have been spotted here, including Bald Eagles, Wood Storks and other species.

There seems to be something year-round to do, watch and enjoy. In August/September there are hundreds of Wood Storks and other wading birds in the pond areas. Plus, Hundreds of Rough-winged swallows gather prior to migrating south. In the Winter you find sparrows, woodpeckers and ducks.  

 

At the visitor center parking area, you'll find a kiosk with a map that shows the way to each trailhead. The trails are well-marked with traditional hiker symbols on orange posts, so you will not need a map to find your way. The Audubon is pet friendly but only with a leash!

 

It is free to walk around and they happily accept donations!
