    Come see us at Crystal Lake Park, Lady's Island

    Come See Us at Crystal Lake Park!

    We are in the Crystal Lake Park office building on Lady's Island Drive on the corner of  Rue du Bois.

     See map below.

    About the Park

    Crystal Lake Park is a passive Beaufort County park.             Enjoy hiking around the lake on the boardwalk and dirt trail or relax on the dock to view birds and other wildlife. Fishing is catch and release only.

    A variety of species can be seen at Crystal Lake.

    Several species of mammals, birds, reptiles, fish, trees, plants and insects can be seen at Crystal Lake Park. Salt water flows into the lake making it brackish so it's not unusual to see shrimp, small crabs, or saltwater fish.
