Nature watching, specifically birdwatching, is popular at Little Pee Dee State Park, and there are places to birdwatch along the shoreline of the park lake and along the nature trails. Birds that may be seen at the park include northern mockingbirds, summer tanagers, northern cardinals, great blue herons, chipping sparrows, common grackles, ruby-throated hummingbirds, and Canada geese, among many other species.

The night sky above the clear meadows of Malabar Farm provides an excellent opportunity to find and identify stars and other objects above.

The hillsides are adorned with sandstone outcroppings, which are covered in lush ferns and mosses. Wildflowers such as trillium, spring beauties, and wild blue phlox add a pop of color and provide ground cover. The park is home to a variety of wildlife, including wood thrush, barred owls, fox squirrels, and raccoons, all of which can be found in the woodlands. Fields and meadows are home to bluebirds, red-winged blackbirds, cottontail rabbits, and red foxes.

There are four trails available for visitors to explore, each offering a chance to see the vibrant wildflowers and intriguing rock formations. The Butternut Trail, Doris Duke Woods Trail, and Jungle Brook Trail are all short and easy hikes, each less than a mile in length. For those who prefer horseback riding, the Pleasant Valley Bridle Trail offers seven miles of paths, with hiking also permitted.
