Word on the street
What locals are saying
Palmetto Islands County Park is broadly regarded by Mt. Pleasant locals as one of the area's best everyday outdoor escapes — a well-maintained 943-acre mix of marsh, woodland trails, boardwalks, and creeks that genuinely feels removed from the suburbs surrounding it. Regulars highlight the $2 entry fee as a standout value, praising the dog park, kid-friendly playground, fishing/crabbing docks, and seasonal water park as reliable family staples. The one near-universal caveat: bring serious bug spray, as mosquitoes are relentless.
