Birding at Ninety Six

Birding is a great way to spend the day at Ninety Six! The park is located in the Southern Piedmont of South Carolina. A large variety of habitats are found within the park boundaries. They include: bottomland hardwood forest, mixed hardwood forest, oak-hickory forest, mixed pine hardwood forest, pine plantation, maintained grassy fields, a small lake, and its associated wetlands. Thanks to this diversity around 150 species of birds call Ninety Six home. At least 31 of these species are of conservation concern. Year round and any ware on the park can be great for birding. But, the Star Fort pond is a site were many species not found at other areas of the park can be seen.
