Ed, The sandhills are thought to be remains of an ancient sea that retreated thousands of years ago. They mark the transistion between the rolling hills of the piedmont and the flat coastal plain. Sea shells, shark teeth, and other fossils can still be found in the sandhills area. In addition to Sand Hills State Forest's 46,000 acres, there's also the Carolina Sandhills NWR's 46,000 acres, and Cheraw State Park's 7,000+ acres. All three of these areas are connected together.
