Lake Murray Sailng Club

Located at 866 Riverbend Point in Batesburg-Leesville, the Lake Murray Sailing Club provides public boat access to Lake Murray and the Saluda River area in Lexington County. This access point features a single-lane boat launch ramp with a courtesy dock, making it suitable for kayaks, canoes, and motorized vessels. On-site amenities include a fishing pier, picnic area, and restrooms, providing convenient facilities for a full day of recreation.

Paddlers and boaters should note that this is a relatively developed access area with basic services. For those planning downstream trips on the Saluda River, an alternative take-out is available approximately 700 feet downstream of the SC 121 bridge on the left bank, or at the Saluda River Resort (an RV park with its own boat ramp). The proximity to Francis Marion and Sumter National Forests offers opportunities to explore scenic waterways in the region. Check current water conditions on the Saluda River before launching, as flow rates can vary depending on dam releases from upstream operations.
