Odell Venters (Highway 41 Bridge)

**Location & Access:** Located on Lynches River near Johnsonville in Florence County, this public boat ramp sits beneath SC Highway 41/US Highway 17A, approximately northeast of Jamestown. The site features a paved parking area and easy vehicle access to the water.

**Facilities & Launch Conditions:** The ramp includes an 80-foot-long boat launch—notably long enough to accommodate launching even during low-water periods. The banks have been graded specifically to assist paddlers and canoeists entering and exiting the water. This makes it a reliable access point for kayakers and small craft year-round. The ramp accommodates both motorized boats and human-powered vessels like canoes and kayaks.

**Best For:** This access point works well for paddlers looking to explore the Lynches River, a scenic Atlantic Coastal Plain waterway. The extended ramp length and paddle-friendly design make it particularly suitable for canoeists and kayakers planning day trips or longer paddles on the river.
