**Location & Access**
Ramp A is located southeast of Barnwell on County Road 57 in Barnwell County, South Carolina. This single-lane boat ramp provides access to the 100-acre Lake Edgar A. Brown and includes dirt parking. The site is handicapped accessible, making it convenient for visitors of varying abilities.
**Boating & Paddling Conditions**
Lake Edgar A. Brown is a popular destination for kayakers, canoeists, and recreational boaters. The lake supports largemouth bass, bluegill, shell-cracker, and catfish, making it attractive for fishing. Note that a portion of the lake is designated for water skiing, so paddlers should be aware of motorized traffic. The lake also features walking paths around its perimeter and fishing piers for those interested in shore-based activities.
**Nearby Alternatives**
Additional boat ramps are available at the north and south parking lots off Wellington Road (the lake's center crossroad) and at the far north end near Black Road, providing multiple access points if Ramp A is crowded or if you prefer a different launch location.
