Summary: The King Snake Trail explores a remote part of Congaree National Park. The trail offers excellent birdwatching, and hikers may spot deer, raccoons, opossums, and even bobcat tracks. Midway, the trail passes a large cypress-tupelo slough that seems to go on forever. On the other side of the trail, giant cherrybark oaks stand at near-record size.

The trail is not a loop although it can be hiked out and back. The trail ends on oakridge trail which is still a two mile hike back to the visitor center.

Trailhead: Take exit #5 off I-77. Follow signs to the park entrance, (approximately 15 miles). The Kingsnake trailhead is east of the park entrance on South Cedar Creek road at the marked canoe put-in. (Lat:33.8203 Lon:-80.7878)
