Sparkleberry Swamp, located at the northern end of Lake Marion in South Carolina’s Santee region, is a breathtaking submerged forest of cypress and tupelo trees.

This secluded and serene wetland is a haven for wildlife, offering visitors a chance to experience nature in its most untouched form. The swamp is rich in biodiversity—it’s common to spot great blue herons, white egrets, owls, woodpeckers, and the vibrant Prothonotary Warbler among its quiet waterways and moss-draped trees.

Your attention, please…

Bring your own kayak or book your excursion through Coastal Expeditions.
