About This Access Site
Located southeast of Gaffney in Cherokee County, this access point sits directly under the SC Highway 105 bridge on the Pacolet River. The site features a single-lane boat ramp with paved parking, making it suitable for kayaks, canoes, and small motorboats. While parking is limited, the straightforward access makes this a convenient launch point for paddlers exploring this section of the river.

Paddlers should be aware of the modest facilities at this location—there is no full-service amenities. The site works best for day trips and shorter paddling excursions. If you need camping accommodations, Poulous Loop Group Campground is available about 10 miles away (reservable through SC Parks). Before launching, check current water conditions on the Pacolet River, as flow and water levels can vary seasonally.
