[The Kissing Tree]
Is this the Kissing Tree?

Hidden Oaks Nature Trail


Difficulty level: 2 (There are some wooden steps.)

Location:
Turn off Seabrook Island Road onto St. Christopher Lane. Turn right on Hidden Oak Drive. The trail parking area is immediately on the left. The trail exits the parking area and parallels Hidden Oak Drive.

Trail Description:
This is the most well known trail. It is semi circular, leading from the parking area down through the woods and around a small lagoon before ending on Hidden Oaks Drive. At the end, you can either retrace your steps or return to the parking area via the road. There are 2 sets of wooden steps at steep areas of the trail. Often deer can be seen in the woods. The lagoon has a resident alligator and several pond sliders (those delightful turtles that sit on logs or lagoon banks and slide into the water as soon as they see you coming). There are many plant identification markers along the way. This trail borders Camp St. Christopher. The Camp has named one of the live oaks the Kissing Tree, so be sure to look for it on your walk.
