Learning to throw a cast net is a lowcountry rite of passage.  As kids dip their nets into Charleston’s brackish waters, they encounter all sorts if fascinating marine life.

Edisto State Park’s Environmental Learning Center offers a range of classes for people of all ages.  We recently attended their cast netting program in an effort to sharpen our skills.  The instructor was animated and informative, and participants were able to cast into Big Bay Creek.  After class, we enjoyed a picnic in the park, then stopped by King’s Market for dessert.

We’re looking forward to our next visit to the Edisto State Park, where class offerings range from Turtle Treks to Tie-dying.  It’s a bit of a drive, but completely worth every mile.  Check out all that the park has to offer here.
