The Wambaw Cycle and ATV Trail starts off at the Round Pond Trailhead and the sandy trail will lead you to a lush forest of fragrant pines. The trail spans about 40 miles and is shaped like a figure 8. While you ride your ATV at the Wambaw Cycle and ATV Trail you will notice sinkhole ponds and bald cypress, and are likely to notice wildlife, mainly deer and turkey. The trail is designed both for motorcycles and ATVs under 50 inches wide, as well as bike riders and hikers, so remember to be courteous to anyone you pass.
The Wambaw Cycle and ATV Trail is open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, but note that a working taillight and headlight are needed for night riding. It costs $5 to get a daily pass to the Trail, or $50 yearly. The trailhead contains both a picnic shelter and toilets. While riding your ATV on the trail during hunting season, remember to wear bright clothing, and it is recommended that you do not ride the trail when it is extremely wet. When it is warm, insect repellent will probably be needed.
To get to the Wambaw Cycle and ATV Trail from Charleston, drive northeast on US 17 and turn left on Charleston County S-10-1032 . Drive about 5 miles and turn a right on S-10-98 and continue 5 miles to Round Pond Cycle Trailhead on the left. When you are riding your ATV or motorcycle at the trail, remember to be respectful to the land and the wildlife that inhabit it. Do not litter or drive off of the track, and do not under any means harm any animals. If you see any litter, pick it up and throw it away yourself to better preserve the natural beauty of the area. Be respectful to the land and have a safe and fun ATV experience.
