Pinckney Island is located between the two bridge spans that connect Hilton Head Island to the mainland. The National Wildlife Refuge has been protecting more than 4,000 acres of pristine Lowcountry habitat since 1985. The seasons and the tides create widely varying views of ponds, saltwater marshes, and wildlife, so each visit to Pinckney Island offers a new experience. Springtime is the perfect time to see large numbers of Egrets, Herons, and Ibises nesting and raising their young in rookeries. There are many miles of great trails for biking and walking the Refuge, which is open sunup to sundown daily. www.fws.gov/refuge/pinckney-isla
