Nautical Boat Club

Nautical Boat Club provides boat ramp access to Lake Murray and the Saluda River in Richland County, near the boundary with Sumter County. This facility offers a convenient launch point for kayakers, canoeists, and motorboaters looking to explore the scenic waters around this popular recreation area. The location puts you near Francis Marion and Sumter National Forests, offering opportunities for extended paddling and outdoor recreation.

As with most Lake Murray access points, there is a small day-use fee to launch. The ramp features a paved parking area and is typically open from dawn to dusk. Paddlers heading downriver should note that a take-out point exists approximately 700 feet downstream of the SC 121 bridge on the left bank, or you can use the Saluda River Resort as an alternative take-out if planning a longer paddling trip. Check ahead for current facility amenities, operating hours, and any seasonal closures before your visit.
