Know Before You Go

Located in Berkeley County, Fort Fair Lawn is regarded as one of the few remaining, and most well-preserved, British earthwork fortifications in North America. The park that it has been incorporated into is frequented by locals and tourists alike to get away from the hustle bustle of Charleston. Take advantage of the picnicking amenities and networks of trails to enjoy some of the natural landscape of the lowcountry.

Please note that the fort and the site stops are located along a network of trails spanning 1.75 miles and the paths are mainly gravel, which may prove difficult to traverse for someone with walking aids or a wheelchair. The park also offers amenities in the form of bathrooms and picnic shelters.
