About This Access Site
**Location & Facilities:**
Lake Blalock Park's boat ramp is located southeast of Gaffney near the SC Highway 105 bridge crossing the Pacolet River in Mayo, Spartanburg County. The park offers a single-lane boat ramp with limited parking, a fishing dock, and picnic pavilions. The facility is managed by Spartanburg Water and includes a Warden's Office on-site.

**Water Access & Recreation:**
This access point provides entry to Lake Blalock, an impoundment formed by the Pacolet River and its tributaries in the Piedmont region. The lake setting supports boating, fishing, and water recreation activities. Given the single-lane ramp and limited parking, plan accordingly during peak usage times. The nearby Cowpens National Battlefield offers additional historical recreation opportunities in the area. Before launching, check local conditions and any specific regulations with the Spartanburg Water management office.
