Skidaway Island State Park

Skidaway Island State Park sits along Georgia's Intracoastal Waterway near Savannah, surrounded by maritime forest and salt marshes. Visitors can explore scenic hiking trails, view local wildlife from observation towers, and stay overnight at campsite facilities or park cabins. A visitor center provides nature exhibits and educational programs for all ages.

Expert notes

• Bring sunscreen, bug spray, and plenty of water. The park offers a variety of activities, including hiking, biking, fishing, and kayaking. One must-do activity is the 3-mile Big Ferry Trail, which takes visitors through the maritime forest and along the Skidaway River. The ideal time to visit the park is early morning or late afternoon when the wildlife is most active. Wear comfortable shoes and dress in layers as the weather can change quickly.
