Let's get you closer to the places you love most, and the things you love to do.
South Carolina’s newest state park has an opening date.
Pine Island will now have a “soft opening” to the public on Oct. 1 after years of preparation.
Initially, the park will open from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays, said Tim Ritter, Pine Island’s new on-site park manager.
The new 27-acre park was originally slated to be opened by the fall of 2024, but several snags delayed the opening. A fire destroyed the building meant to house the park manager in April of that year, and then the island suffered damage to both trees and structures from Hurricane Helene last fall. Now the park is back on track. Read here: bit.ly/3Ssedqg
