Lake Waccamaw is part of the Carolina Bays and covers over 9,000 acres with 14 miles of shore. Unique wildlife is something to look for, and you can get a list from inside the park office. Another list to request would be for the flora in the area as many are featured on the state’s rare plant list. Traditional lake activities of hiking, boating, and picnicking are also enjoyed by visitors. Potential visitors can look for events scheduled by the park rangers to learn more about the lake and state park. Alternatively, check out the visitor center for educational displays and interactive exhibits.
