Positives: the path loops in a circle on the island-feels like you've gotten somewhere new instead of having to walk back n forth from end to end, real bathrooms, drinking fountains, spacious parking lot, easy to read posted Park map at trailhead AND at every marker along path, paved trail up to boardwalk and synthetic boardwalk for easy stroller/bike/wheelchair access, great view of Stono River and Main Rd Bridge btwn Johns Island and W.
