Located in the small town of Ridgeville on the Edisto River, Givhans Ferry State Park is one of the state’s best-hidden treasures. With a population of just over 1,500 people, Ridgeville is part of the Charleston-North Charleston-Summerville metropolitan area and only about 35 miles from Charleston. Many people traveling there on I-26 pass right by this beautiful state park in South Carolina without even realizing it.
