Gardens Corner Preserve (335 acres) protects the “unofficial”” entrance to Beaufort County at the junction of Hwy 17 and Hwy 21. This conservation easement protects and maintains the scenic and rural character of the ACE Basin and protects the “west fork” of the Huspah Creek, one of the headwater of the Creek. The Huspah Creek system feeds the Whale Branch, and both the Port Royal Sound and St. Helena Sound via the Broad River and Coosaw River.
