Hilton Boat Ramp offers convenient public access to Lake Murray on the Saluda River in Lexington County. The facility features a 2-lane launch ramp with a courtesy dock, making it easy for kayakers, canoeists, and motorboats to access the water. The site includes 30 paved parking spaces and a fishing pier for those without vessels. This is a solid choice for paddlers looking for straightforward lake access in the area.
Lake Murray is a large, scenic impoundment along the Saluda River system, offering calm, manageable paddling conditions. The access point provides a good base for exploring the lake's protected waters, and nearby Francis Marion and Sumter National Forests offer additional outdoor recreation opportunities. If you're paddling the Saluda River itself, note that Hilton serves as a convenient launch point for downriver trips, with a takeout approximately 700 feet downstream of the SC 121 bridge on the left bank.
