About This Access Site
**Access & Facilities**
This single-lane boat ramp on the Great Pee Dee River in Society Hill provides a courtesy dock and limited parking. The ramp offers direct access to a scenic stretch of river popular with kayakers, canoeists, and boaters. Note that parking is limited, so plan accordingly or request extra patrols from the Darlington County Sheriff's Office if leaving vehicles unattended.
**Paddling Tips & Nearby Access**
Timing matters on the Great Pee Dee River—avoid paddling immediately after Tuesday's weekly water release, which reaches this area by Wednesday. Weekend trips are ideal for stable water levels. Remember that SC law designates the area up to the waterline as public right of way, making beaches and sandbars accessible. Blue's Landing (Hunt's Bluff) is another public access point between Society Hill and Highway 34, providing options for shuttle trips or alternate put-ins. The river supports hunting, fishing, wildlife viewing, and birding in addition to paddling.
