DESCRIPTION:Jackson\, SC\, Aiken County. Please visit their website for directions. This area is only open during designated dates and times. Meet at the gate where you will have to sign in and out. We may carpool on the property leaving the other cars in the parking area. We will drive to various areas to look for butterflies.

Intricate Satyr\, Texan Crescent and Appalachian Brown have been found at this site.
