Keadle Bridge Tract
431 Acres
The Keadle Bridge Tract is a 431-acre property located within the Shaws Creek/South Fork of the Edisto River Strategic Focal Area. Acquired by Aiken Land Conservancy in April 2026, this property plays a key role in connecting protected lands between the Aiken Gopher Tortoise Heritage Preserve and Aiken State Park, helping to establish a continuous conservation corridor across this ecologically significant landscape.
The tract features approximately 1.2 miles of frontage along the South Fork of the Edisto River and includes a rich diversity of natural habitats, including an Atlantic white cedar swamp, intact floodplains, and multiple tributaries. The property is also home to impressive old-growth bald cypress trees that contribute to the area’s unique character and ecological value.
These habitats support a wide range of wildlife, including species of concern such as the prothonotary warbler and dwarf waterdog, along with several state-listed bird, reptile, fish, and crayfish species. The property also serves as an important buffer for known striped bass spawning areas within the river system.
