Charleston’s surf beach and the hike to Morris Island Lighthouse. Folly Beach has the best surf on the Charleston coast. At the south end, wade across to Morris Island at low tide and walk to a lighthouse standing in the surf.
The back side of Folly Beach. Paddle the Folly River through salt marsh with views of the Morris Island Lighthouse and the Charleston skyline in the distance. Calmer than the ocean side and excellent for SUP.
One of the largest undeveloped estuaries on the East Coast. Paddle through tidal creeks and salt marshes where bald eagles, wood storks, and river otters share the water with your kayak.
October 7, 1780. Patriot militiamen surrounded and destroyed a Loyalist force on this forested ridge in 65 minutes. Thomas Jefferson called it the turning point of the American Revolution. The 1.5-mile loop trail climbs the ridge and follows the battle line.
Paddle through ancient cypress swamps where the water runs the color of dark tea and the silence is absolute. The blackwater creeks of Francis Marion are among the most atmospheric paddling in the Southeast.
The premier bass tournament launch on Lake Hartwell. Wide ramp, massive parking, and access to nationally recognized spotted bass fishing. Kayak anglers welcome.
Tidal creek paddle with dolphins. Murrells Inlet is the seafood capital of South Carolina and one of the best places in the state to paddle with bottlenose dolphins in their natural habitat.
A 40-foot waterfall visible within 2 minutes of the parking area, plus 4 miles of river trails with swimming holes on the Chauga River. Great add-on for the Walhalla area.
