Linked Amenities
Push your kayak into the river waters to start your adventure.
Palmetto Bluff’s activity centers—Wilson Village, the neighborhoods, the Inn, the golf club, the canoe and kayak club—are all linked through a series of historic roads, pathways and waterways.
This intricate trail system allows residents to reach their destinations by bicycle, foot, boat, horseback, golf cart or automobile. Wilson Village reflects a place stuck in time, a small town village with a huge village green, charming restaurants and shops and an old-time sense of community.
