8a-9p Monday through Friday. Park gates are locked when officially closed except for emergency situations. The park is closed Christmas Day. Turn left and follow SR-2246 into the Queen Anne access area of the park. The Lumber River is one of the most beautiful rivers in the Carolinas.
Ducks are everywhere.
Watch awhile and you will see turtles, snakes and even an occasional otter. The birds are fresh off the multicolored pages of a bird book of southern swamp birds. The Lumber River Canoe Trail can be an easy float down this lazy river with nothing more exciting the watching the activities of the many small animals in the water and along the banks. In recent years, however, we have had a number of hurricanes and strong winds which have made the river a virtual obstacle course. The rangers and local fishermen work hard trying to keep the river free of obstacles but it is a never ending battle.
