👣 Along the trail, children can explore activity brochures designed to spark curiosity and help young explorers learn about the plants, animals, and habitats found right here in the Lowcountry.

⭐️ Kids who complete TRACK Trail adventures can register their hikes at KidsinParks.com to earn fun prizes and track their outdoor experiences.
