We Need Your Input!
As part of our planning efforts and upcoming grant applications, we are seeking community feedback on the future trail system at the Dorchester Heritage Center. Your input will help guide decisions about trail features, amenities, and how the trails can best serve and benefit our community.
We invite you to share what you would like to see included and provide any additional insights you feel are important. The survey takes less than five minutes to complete, and your feedback is greatly appreciated.

Thank you for helping shape this important project.
This is our vision:
The project consists of a porous surfaced parking area with an adjacent boardwalk to move over a wetland area to the trailhead. The trailhead has a raised deck platform and benches. The trailhead structure has covered trail maps, signage and bulletin board for postings, rules, hours etc. and a trail book for visitors to sign in and leave feedback. Wayfinding signage, interpretive panels and trail markers to direct visitors are placed as needed throughout .
Trail 1 – The Edisto Natchez-Kusso Trail is dedicated to the story of this local Native American Tribe including their use of native plants for healing and health. It includes 12 interpretive panels to educate visitors about the Tribe as they visit. The initial trail is an approximately one mile loop with expansion planned for the future.
