Elijah Clark State Park's boat ramp provides excellent water access to Clarks Hill Lake, one of the largest reservoirs in the Southeast. With its 71,100 acres, this expansive lake offers ample opportunities for boating, paddling, and fishing.
The boat ramp at the park's day-use area allows easy launching for kayaks, canoes, and motorized watercraft. Located on Soap Creek, the ramp provides direct access to the Savannah River and the broader Clarks Hill Lake. Boaters and paddlers can explore the coves, points, and fishing hotspots throughout this vast lake system. A courtesy dock is available at the ramp for loading and unloading.
As part of the J. Strom Thurmond Lake project, Elijah Clark State Park provides a scenic freshwater recreation destination. Visitors can enjoy the park's Revolutionary War history and natural setting along the lake's western shore. With multiple boat ramps and nearby campgrounds, the park is well-equipped to serve the needs of both motorized boaters and human-powered paddlers.
