Paddling South Carolina

The hardest part of paddling South Carolina is choosing your route! From the mountain-rimmed waters of Lake Jocassee to the rapids of the Saluda River to rice-field canals along Wadboo Creek, the Palmetto State offers a variety of great paddles all year-round. Paddling South Carolina features 40 paddling adventures throughout the state. With a focus on recreational paddling, all trips avoid complicated put-ins, portages, and dangerous expert sections but offers concise paddle summaries, excellent route descriptions, GPS coordinates, and sidebars on geology and wildlife. Lakes and ponds, rivers and creeks are featured.
