Wetlands and good schools

Half of Rifle Range is small landmasses carved up by wetlands and inlets along the Sullivan Narrows, which separates Sullivan Island from inland Mount Pleasant. This expansive natural boundary between the barrier islands and the mainland shields Rifle Range from floods and overdevelopment. This area produced Cassina tea for many years, a history reflected in the names of some of Rifle Range's subsections. The neighborhood was named after a World War I rifle range that once took up much of its land. Decades later, residential development took over.

A future park and a marshy walk

Plans are underway to develop an expansive park along Rifle Range Road, connected to Mount Pleasant Way. The design includes a gym, multipurpose fields, tennis, pickleball and volleyball courts, a playground, trails and a boardwalk along pre-existing wetlands. Developers have yet to provide an exact timeline for when the project will be completed. Residents may now enjoy pocket parks, sports courts and swimming pools in various subdivisions. The Marsh View Trail is partially paved and shaded by mature trees. The trail leads into marshlands and a butterfly garden.
