Full description and what we offer
Owned and operated by Danny Harrell—a lifelong hunter and BASS Pro Shops Red Head Hunting Staff member—Cypress Creek Hunting Lodge sits near the historic Savannah River in South Carolina's low country. Danny and his wife Becky have spent over 40 years hunting this region and built the lodge around what they learned: healthy game populations come from good cover, proper nutrition, and restricted harvests.
