**Location & Access:** Pump House Landing is a public boat ramp located just downstream of the SC Highway 41 Bridge near Andrews in Georgetown County. The site features a concrete ramp and large parking lot, providing convenient access to the Black River.
**River Character:** The Black River is a major river system (288 miles long) with significant flow averaging over 10,500 cubic feet per second. At this location, expect a moderate current of approximately 2.8 feet per second with a gentle gradient typical of the coastal plain. This is ideal water for kayakers and canoeists seeking a flowing river experience without extreme rapids or obstacles.
**Paddling Options:** Pump House Landing sits approximately 10 river miles downstream from Ervin Park, another public landing, making it a good takeout point for paddlers starting upstream or a launch point for exploring downstream sections. The Black River's major river status means adequate water levels year-round for most paddlers, though current conditions should always be checked before launching.
