description: Come out and Explore Ion Swamp with us. This habitat holds a great deal of diversity for all the nature lovers. Things we can view on the hike are a variety of songbirds, birds of prey, reptiles and amphibians, wildflowers, and a variety of insect species. Here you can also view endangered Longleaf Pine and possibly Red-cockaded Woodpecker. This is a very informative hike aimed at educating people about these habitats and why it is important to protect them.
This tour meets at the Sewee Visitors Center, where we can enjoy the Interpretive Center and take a short walk to see the critically endangered Red Wolves. This has restroom facilities onsite.
